0.000 HBDForget About Social Media Campaigns for a Second - Who's Been Contacting Journalists About Steem?
<center></center><center>[Source](https://pixabay.com/en/newspaper-article-journal-headlines-154444/)</center> --- So, I know that a lot of people have been putting enormous amounts of effort into promoting Steem through various social media channels, like Twitter, Youtube & Medium. This has gotten us some decent exposure and as a result, some news websites have even written a few stories, thanks to those campaigns on social media. Now my question is: **Why don't we ask journalists themselves to write about Steem?** I know a few journalists personally and through them I know that they usually appreciate getting tips from readers. Anything that allows them to get a scoop on a particular story is generally well received. Some news websites also have a dedicated e-mail address to send in tips, I think it's about time we start using this option to promote Steem. Alternatively, striking up a conversation with individual journalists through e-mail or via Twitter is probably also a good idea. Though, I would recommend writing high-quality suggestions for articles, instead of just suggesting vague concepts. --- ### Remember when Steem got featured on Yahoo News? After Steem was added to State of the DApps, Yahoo News wrote an article about this. Right after this article was published, the Steem price went up to over $0.30. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/steem-added-state-dapps-listings-132414745.html We need more journalists that post regular stories about Steem and the only way to achieve this, is by letting them know that the Steem community is alive and thriving. --- ### Cointelegraph might not be an option, but smaller publications are! Look, I'm not saying that we're going to be able to get Cointelegraph to publish an article about Steemit. They charge companies a pretty huge amount of money, just to publish a press release for example. I doubt that they'll take user suggestions into consideration. I'd look at smaller publications, like [CCN](https://www.ccn.com/) for example. They have a dedicated e-mail address for suggestions, so we might actually have a chance to get a story about Steem published on there. <center></center> Aside from CCN, there are dozens of similar news websites that would accept user-submitted suggestions for articles. All we need to do is send them enticing ideas. Below is a list of such news websites: * https://www.coindesk.com/about - Submit tips to news@coindesk.com * https://cryptonews.com/contact-us.htm * https://www.cryptovibes.com/about/ * https://coingape.com/contact/ * https://bravenewcoin.com/contact --- ### Conclusion Look, I know that making this suggestion is very easy, the hard work is actually in contacting all these news websites and journalists. I'm more than willing to work together with anyone, just to get a coordinated effort going. I'm not sure if there's already a group on Steem working towards this. Maybe this would be something that #oracle-d is interested in doing? If so, I'm more than happy to join and help reach out to some of these journalists. ### Let me know if anyone is interested in working with me on this!
