Pitch Ideas

What's going on the media world today? If you're struggling to find pitch ideas, consider one of the following hot topics for this week:

Economy
Yes - it's still hot and probably will be for quite awhile. Plenty of outlets are looking for people that have recently been laid off and what they are doing to cope. Also people that have lost their jobs and started a new business in a completely new direction.

Social Media
Small business and big business - reporters want to know how your business is using social media. Most are in need of real case studies and how you measured your success.

Tax Season
Some short lead outlets are seeking tax tips and tax advice for individuals and business owners

St. Patricks Day
Very short lead outlets (online or newspaper mostly) seeking interesting St. Patrick's Day activities, especially those that are 'green' - meaning 'eco-friendly,' not the color green.

Mother's Day
Long lead outlets are seeking Mother's Day pitches. Many large national magazines are past deadline but you still have time for regional magazines, TV, and online media!

Happy Pitching.
