There is a very good share.

Here are a handful of the tips shared by myself and a couple others on how to get attention from the media.

Create high quality image libraries and story outlines on the site which are available to bona-fide press only after registration.
A large number of journalists have their own blogs or write for their publication’s blog. Commenting on their stories, adding them to your blogroll and linking to them from your blog are all great ways to get on their radar.
When you link to a journalist, use the journalist’s name… journalists are people like everyone else. They have vanity. Most of them have set up Google Alerts for their names.
So if you use their name in a blog post, they get a Google Blog Alert for their name.

Keep in mind your website and it’s promotional efforts can be magnified by being the topic of a news story. Being mentioned in a news source can be seen as an implied endorsement as people tend to trust what they see and hear in the news. Work the media, it can lead to increased sales and confidence in your brand.

I hope this post will be helpful for everyone. Please share your opinions for this post.

I have been in the journalistic branch for some time and I agree with most of your points. Though, press is a hectic industry and one can't expect to get much attention only by commenting on a journalist's blog. Everything must be done with diplomacy. The best way to attract attention is to generate newsworthy communications yourself.

Yes. You are on the other side. You know how important is newsworthy content. If you offer newsworthy content to them, they will surely write about you..
