[...] 3) Hop on HARO. If you’re not familiar with HARO (helpareporter.com), it’s a free email newsletter featuring journalists’ calls for sources, which goes out three times a day to an audience of thousands. Sign up for the newsletter and pay close attention to the queries, keeping an eye out for requests that fit your company and will provide you with positive exposure. When you reply, include a paragraph or two of specific information in response to the journalists’ needs; writers often receive dozens of replies, so you won’t stand out unless you can show that you’re the right fit in your initial correspondence. See more tips for making the most of HARO. [...]

I think this is too cautious. You assume that everyone has the time to massage each and every relationship. Only the PR people at large firms do who can hire someone to work on this full time, every day, all day, can, so reporters should cut the smaller guys some slack. We run our companies. We work massively long hours. We need exposure like bread needs butter. But we don’t have time to do all the things we SHOULD be doing in PR. We just don’t. To do that would be a full time job alone, and we’re back to square one.

So reporters & writers, don’t be so quick and rude to reject people because they didn’t put the information in exactly the format you want.

Oh, and you might try thanking the people who do reply. God knows reporters are underpaid and overworked too, just like the small business owner (so there should be mutual respect or at least empathy) but remember that your reputations are also being interwoven into the “relationship” building and newspapers and print magazines are dying, so maybe more attention to invidual things could help build bridges all around.
