Three New York Times writers/bloggers sat down for a lively panel discussion on the second day of the Media Relations Summit in NYC: Andrew Ross Sorkin of DealBook, Saul Hansell of Bits, and Tara Parker-Pope of Well. Following are notes from each:
Hansell:
Interested in: spot news, little things, debates, interactive features, news analysis and commentary, stuff that's interesting about the business of tech that would be interesting to the general community
Parker-Pope:
Interested in: prostate cancer, thinks mens health gets short shrift. Health doesn't happen at the doctor's office, it's about decisions you make everyday. Action oriented health information. All about a conversation you can have with your doctor right now.
Look at her "tag" list next to her blog to get an immediate view of what i'm thinking about (this is excellent advice for blogger relations in general).
She's about to run her first marathon and is interested in stories about running, fitness and nutrition.
Sorkin:
"My job is to find out about your deal before you announce it.
Sorkin says he reads all the comments on DealBook because he's "egomaniacal." If you say something nasty or nice he might say something back. He gets good stories from comments and might even hold a moderated comment before putting it up because it's a good story.
