Help A Reporter Out, yep that is the name of the website preface. Peter Shankman is the founder and operator and the preface of what he does is to broadcast what media reporters are looking for as far as story subjects and people to do stories on. Reporters and media types let Shankman know what they are looking for as far as sources go in a certain area or niche and he passes that info on in daily emailings. You never know if someone is wanting to do a story on your niche and might even interview and discuss your site in the article. That will likely equate to an engaged surfer and a golden backlink to your site as well.
You will get about three or so emails a day from him, all with reporters looking for sources.
The emails will be formatted like below:
A paragraph or two of Shankman ranting about something funny.
