Parents and Kids Magazine

I just received an August copy of Parents and Kids Magazine from their editor, Heather Kempskie, with a nice handwritten note on the cover saying "enjoy Pg. 3!"

Hey! That's my book!

They were generous enough to include Playgrounds of the North Shore, 2e, in their August PK Picks book recommendation section.

Yeah. The first publicity for the second edition.

Media Kits, update

"Whatever happened to the response to the media kits?" somebody asked me the other day.

nothing

Could it be because half the papers are owned by the Eagle Tribune that did their own "Playground Rating" article and web site?

Media Kits

Sent out some media kits today, ten of them actually. Most to local papers, well heck here is where I sent them out. Let's see which ones do something about the second edition. Some of them had written about the first edition two years ago.

1. Salem News
2. Eagle Tribune Publications (publishers of Salem News, Gloucester Times, Newburyport, and many others)
3. Gloucester Times
4. Daily News of Newburyport
5. Boston Globe
6. Boston Herald
7. Parents and Kids Magazine
8. Community Newspaper Company (publishers of North Shore Sunday, and other free papers)
9. WBUR's Here and Now (public radio station and their local show)
10. Chronicle (Boston's local tv show)

It will be interesting to see what the Salem News/Eagle Tribune will do especially with their recent "Playground Rating" article (see this blog entry).
