It used to be that if you wanted to attract media attention to your business, you had to crash some pretty sturdy gates. Today social media and blogging culture have made journalists far more accessible to anyone who wants to reach them. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge: how do you make your own story stand out from the thousands of other well-networked founders?

This book summarizes my notes from a conference a few years ago in which some of Silicon Valley's best tech bloggers and journalists (from TechCrunch, Pando Daily, San Jose Mercury News, Time Magazine, CNET, Reuters, Forbes and others) shared their best advice for how to attract their attention. Straight from the horses' mouths!
