I particularly like this article. You hit the nail on the head - developing effective relationships with reporters (as opposed to a mere transactional relationship) is so key to getting more (and better) coverage.

I have a lot of experience working with the media, and it hasn't always been pleasant. Especially when someone is in an intern role and there isn't much opportunity to develop relationships with media, it can be very daunting. That being said, even when you know members of the media there are still some who just wake up on the wrong side of the bed everyday. My biggest piece of advice is to be confident and know that no reporter is out to get you (well, I hope not). Branden Allie:
