I agree with your sentiments, but actually look at it the other way-- the approach to bloggers-- treating them as people-- should be considered when approaching reporters, not the other way around.<br/><br/>The other "similarity" as that we need to treat each outlet on its own merits-- different blogs take different approaches-- or in many cases none at all. Your welcome. I agree with your sentiments, but actually look at it the other way– the approach to bloggers– treating them as people– should be considered when approaching reporters, not the other way around.

The other “similarity” as that we need to treat each outlet on its own merits– different blogs take different approaches– or in many cases none at all.

Thanks for taking notice of the whole BlogHer debate and using my post as an example. I was being slightly facetious in some of my comments, which is why they come off as basic common sense, because it IS common sense, if PR people would stop and think about what they're doing first. But after listening to your podcast, I don't think I made one thing clear: Bloggers, especially mom-bloggers, are not journalists. At least, not most of them, and not in the traditional sense. Nor do they want to be treated like journalists. They don't need PR folks to provide fodder for their blogs. Some are looking for a creative outlet and the chance to build community, and others are looking for that as well as a chance to make some extra cash on the side. Treating bloggers as journalists is a huge mistake when it comes to the mommy-blogosphere. Save those techniques for the tech bloggers, who already write for online pubs like ZDNet. <br/><br/>Anyway, thanks again for taking notice and for picking mine out of the bunch that covered this topic. Hello! Thanks for taking notice of the whole BlogHer debate and using my post as an example. I was being slightly facetious in some of my comments, which is why they come off as basic common sense, because it IS common sense, if PR people would stop and think about what they’re doing first.
