After the news yesterday of “The Craigslist Congressman,” the writer who broke the story, Maureen O’Connor, appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight to talk about how the story came about. Clip below.
Kevin Prince has joined Gawker Media as PR manager. Previously, Prince was a producer CBS’ The Early Show and has worked with MSNBC.
According to the memo from Gawker head Nick Denton, Prince will be using his TV know-how to promote the company’s bloggers to TV producers.
“Producers will soon be able to view a trending story on Gawker, Gizmodo, Jezebel, or any of the other entities, and have a direct contact to the expert, and video and photos associated with it,” Prince told us via e-mail.
The effort will coincide with the new layout that will soon be launched. Although Prince emphasized that while the redesign is good for promotional purposes, “the talent is here.”
Prince can be reached at kevin@gawker.com. The memo is after the jump.
