No press coverage this year?

I haven’t been able to find any articles related to this year’s event which kind of surprises me. Has anyone else seen anything?

I ran out of time. I stated early on that I wouldn’t be able to run the press releases this year, and they never got picked up by anyone. I got some releases out in the last week, but it was too late to make it into any papers prior to the event.

I’m still surprised that some of the local papers didn’t do a post-event write-up anyway…

The Foster’s Daily Democrat (Dover, NH) ran an article about the FOT48 on Thursday or Friday (I can’t remember which date) before the event.

We need to write a press release and send it to every newspaper. The best part is next year will be our 4th!

If you can find the article (you are the second to tell me about it) and let me know which day, that’d be great. I’m searching online for it, but in vain.

Well written! As it is copywritten you have to get permission from the author or change over 15% of the text.

The Lawrence (MA) Eagle Tribune did a great story on our group which included some info about the whole event(mostly accurate – there are more than 48 4,00 footers in the US?!). Front page on Friday, Sept 10th. I haven’t been able to access it online, but I have copies if anyone is interested.

Great to read the article.

We do need to create and distribute a lot of press releases for next year 2 weeks in advance.
