Today's pick: "Coffee Chat with Lindsay Tigar: Lifestyle & Travel Journalist" from the Press Hook blog

One thing to keep in mind when emailing with journalists? What they don't know and can't control: "It’s helpful for me to receive information—but not endless follow-ups. Unfortunately, freelancers never know when a story is going live (wish I did), and it’s tough to say that via email 10 times. The same goes for changing anything in a story that’s published, which is out of our control, too."

Not only that, but it's good to remember that journalists are basically always working with a deadline (and one that's usually immovable). "Also, response time matters! If I submit a product or interview request via Press Hook, and a week goes by, I’ve probably finished with the story already."
