I spend time on HARO and Qwoted so you don’t have to!
Each day, I go through a long report of requests from reporters from across the country and around the globe that are looking for experts for commentary and/or to be featured in an article, podcast, or story. We want NADP members to be quoted in the media as the experts we know you to be.
Here is how this works (and if you like it I will do this regularly). I have broken this down by category, so you can scroll through it to find yours. I have them in this order: Legal, Finance, Mental Health, and Real Estate. You will find a one-sentence summary of what they are writing the article about, followed by the reporter’s contact information through Haro or Qwoted. If you want to respond to a “query” (another name for a request for content), click on the link to the email. The query below their contact information will give you a detailed description of what they are looking for, followed by the qualifications you must have to be considered. Should you be interested, please send them your NADP profile in your contact information. . In the subject line of your email to the reporter, copy and paste their summary sentence and the word HARO or Qwoted response.
One thing you need to know…time is of the essence, so if you feel compelled to comment on a particular story DO IT TODAY. Time is not on your side here. These reporters are looking for a quick turnaround. The early bird gets the worm!
Here are today’s queries:
