Information for PR Folks
I
am always looking
for story ideas on various topics (see list below). I prefer
to receive pitches via e-mail: PR@sree.net (plain text, no attachments; PDFs ok, on occasion)
My phone number: 212-854-5979 - but I respond much much much better to
e-mail. Please put "PITCH:" in the subject line.
Please be familiar with my work before pitching me a story -- that way we don't waste each other's time! - (plenty of help below)
If
you would like to be added to my PR contacts mailing list: sreeprcontacts-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
I use
this list to, on occasion, ask for ideas, suggestions, help, etc. Looking
forward to working with you.

WORD ABOUT B-ROLL:
For my TV segments, we are always looking for b-roll that we can use for segments, teases, promos, etc. One condition: We need a note giving us permission to use the video on
the air and on our Web site.
Please send
the b-roll to my producer:
