Thank you so much for this. I have been following you for a week or so, trying to get my head around my Kickstarter. I thought that I have too many audiences, but now I can see that I can tailor a campaign to each audience. (For my Kickstarter is actually a literary project in disguise--it is a poem/electronic lit in itself.) http://tinyurl.com/greet-rose
I have to say, the information you have given here and elsewhere about having personal photos is very intriguing. It is an angle I would not have thought about. I guess that is obvious to most people, because most people trust faces. But I was legally blind as a kid, so I do not value faces like others do. So, thank you.
Do you have any articles on getting into traditional media? In particular local TV?
I have a few friends who are on the local news and morning shows here (other bloggers) but I'm wondering what a crowd funder's thoughts are on how to get in.
(And sometimes the friends don't really have that much pull.)

I've included a list of a few articles that I think might be helpful. I'm not as experienced with TV PR, but I think it would come down to the same principles (outreach, making relationships, selling people on the idea of why you are good for the spot, repeat).

Great article - thanks! Another important thing is to do proper research before reaching out to a journalist. Few things are more sure to burn a contact by pitching a reporter with a topic they will never cover.
