WHY HER AND NOT ME? Getting Media Coverage to Support Your Business

When you see someone quoted in the press, on a topic where you are well-versed, do you wonder, "Why Her and Not Me?"

The answer is simple: a Public Relations professional put the name and credentials of that person in front of the reporter. Yesterday -- or last month -- the source was presented to the reporter as someone who could speak authoritatively on a timely issue and would be accessible and available.

When a reporter talks to someone else about your area of expertise, that means you've lost out on valuable air time to promote your products and services.

If being in the media will support your business growth, then consider how you will generate that coverage.

Reporters interview the people they know. They do not call people to whom they have not been introduced.

So, if you have not been introduced, and you get a call from a reporter, it may not be for the best reason.

Make it your business to get in the news -- to support your business.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

ENDLESS COLUMN 2012

http://www.shapeways.com/model/504635/dna_endless_column___homage_to_brancusi.html?key=0fdb17c938148d86f10be88f76075850

Proposal for a 29.35 meters steel sculpture on any of these 6 suggested locations:

1. Paris, France.
2. Bucharest, Romania.
3. Central Park, New York.
4. Roosevelt Island, New York.
5. Tirgu Jiu, Romania.
6. On the "Y" dam in Constanta, Romania.

The steel structure is relatively easy to erect from prefabricated modules that would be highly polished and TIN coated http://coatingservicesgroup.com/?gclid=CLaktb-46a4CFUIRNAodejyzHQ before assembly.
The modular elements comprised in the sculpture are calculated to reach exactly a height of 29.35 meters when the actual structure is assembled.
Exterior elevators on the spiraling columns could be added to reach a visitors platform on top of the structure.
The entire structure could rotate on its foundation.
