Amybeth Hale – Research Goddess

For those who don’t know what HARO is, it stands for Help A Reporter Out. Peter Shankman runs this really helpful email list and sends out journalist, reporter, and bogger requests for interviews and/or subject matter experts on various articles that are being written. If you want to get some free ink, or you want to contribute a thought or two to an article, this is a great list to subscribe to. I am going to start posting requests that come through HARO that have relevance to the recruiting and the social media audiences who follow me. There’s no need to respond to my post for this; just use the contact information provided in the query! Here’s the first one:

By the way, I’m still fund-raising for my trip to South Africa! I am putting on a silent auction in Cincinnati on August 27th… more details coming soon. I still need money! Can you help?
