So backon
March 14th I wrote about City Mitts thinking it was an interesting productespecially for New York commuters.My post then got picked up by
Delight.com, which was awesome. Months later the
New York Times finally got wind of City Mitts and decided to write an article aboutit, "
Reach Out and Touch That Subway Pole." A little late NYT, you got scooped by When Tara Met Blog, booyah!Emily Beck, the founder of
City Mitts,who I hadinterviewed for my post just emailed me writing:"Just wanted to say thanks for being the first to write about City Mitts! The NY Times just covered it two Sunday's ago, and sales are going nuts. But you kickstarted it, wanted to give you some recognition." How sweet was that? I worked for threesummers at a daily newspaper, writingone tothree articles a day and only recieved two thank you notes during that time. So, if you ever get covered by a reporter they like getting a thank you note or a comment, good or bad, about their article. I try keeping that in mind nowin my PR jobwhen journalists cover my clients, it only helps the relationship building too.
The Washington Post also recently wrote about my cousin's
Take Pride shirts that I blogged about too.The article is, "
Group Designs Clothing To Show Support for Troops ."Coincidence? I think not! lol, so just kidding.
