Yes, it's sad but true...bring food and a radio show will talk about you. But never do it expecting anything. Joan is right about print, but somehow you have to show some love for the newspaper staff. Call them up and tell them you loved their article. You would be amazed at how many people never mention anything to the writers. And always remember that newspapers are constantly looking for stories so if you are a new restaurant make sure you send them a note and maybe they will do a new business feature on you. OK, I have to run, all this talking about food has made me hungry! Wayne Thanks for mentioning my radio show in your blog.

Just wanted to clarify something. These kinds of unannounced gifts of food are perfect for broadcasters (TV and radio) but don't send them to your print media contacts. Many journalists, particularly those who work at larger newspapers, have ethics guidelines they must adhere to. One of those rules might say that they cannot accept anything of value from a source.
