If your pitch meets the following criteria, you are worthy to pitch it to interested journalists, according to new PR-to-journalist site Newsvetter:

* My submission is newsworthy
* My submission is hyperbole free
* My submission is jargon free
* My submission is simple and clear
* My submission is grammatically correct
* My facts are accurate
* My information on product names and people is correct

Newsvetter is sort of a mirror image to Peter Shankman's Profnet-killer Help A Reporter. Instead of hordes of PR people responding to queries for sources trafficked by Shankman, PR people submit their ideas to Andrew Fowler's Newsvetter in hopes of attention--other "presenters" can comment on the pitch ideas. Journalists fill out profiles too with their interests, preferred method of contact, and links to their current bylines. So far, only a handful of journalists have signed up, though it's a strong list.

The question is, if the questions above seem obvious, do you need to traffic your pitches through an intermediary? We'll give it a test drive and let you know. One great thing about both Newsvetter and Help A Reporter is they are both free.
