If you are hungry to watch, listen to, or read good news, put on your do-it-yourself publicity hat and get into the game. Last night, while watching Brian Williams sign off the NBC Nightly News, he asked the viewers to share their good news at his blog. I jumped into action to share a good story about a remarkable woman from Grand Junction, Colorado. You can read more about Bette James Laughrun at this blog post. If you have good news to share, why not share your story idea for consideration for the NBC Nightly News. Here is the convenient link to make it easy to share your story. While you are at the site, read all the good news viewers have shared so far. It just might lift your mood and remind you that good things are happening all over the nation, even during these challenging times. Bette says, “I read somewhere that you can change your life when you change your mind. I know that from my personal experience, it is really true.” Treat yourself to her story by reading the link above. You’ll be glad that you did.
DIY Publicity Tip: More major television news outlets are inviting viewers to share their perspectives on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media. Many are sharing the verbatim answers directly from their computer screens with the viewers. If you have value to add to stories as they unfold, chime in, offer your perspective, and be heard.
