We’ve provided the publication details, editor & journalist names, and their contact details where we can. Our aim is to give startups a leg up for winning press coverage. We’ve collated a list of relevant reporters who may be interested in telling their story. However, we’ve not included any information, including contact information, which is not already publicly available. 03 THE ULTIMATE EMAIL DATABASE WHO IS THIS EMAIL DATABASE FOR? If you’re reading this guide, it’s likely that you have realized the huge difference that PR can make to your business. With over 3 billion people online, PR remains more important than ever for startups and growing businesses. Furthermore, 80% of businesses prefer getting company information through content rather than advertisements. Clearly, earned media is going nowhere. Diving into the media spotlight can push your company to the next level. You’ll attract new customers, partners and potential investors, as well as improving your authority in your industry. And that’s before you consider the SEO and digital marketing benefits it can have on your startup. Unfortunately, new companies frequently hold themselves back from receiving press exposure by erecting imaginary barriers. These vary from not forming relationships with relevant reporters to not having the resources to pay the big bucks for traditional PR agencies. However, there is hope. This guide will help your business tear down those walls and get the attention you deserve. Featuring journalists’ contact lists, advice on writing press releases and constructing the perfect pitch; winning press coverage starts here. 04 TOP TECH JOURNALISTS 05 TOP TECH JOURNALISTS 7 Editor or Editor or Journalist Publication Description Journalist Contact Details Names Engadget is a web magazine with obsessive daily coverage of Chris Ip- Tech [email protected] Engadget everything new in Features Editor gadgets and consumer electronics.

  • Eric Johnson Producer of Recode Decode with Kara Swisher Vox Media
    FIRESIDE Q&A How podcasting can take social media storytelling ‘to infinity and beyond’ Eric Johnson Producer of Recode Decode with Kara Swisher Vox Media Rebecca Reed Host Off the Assembly Line Podcast 1. Let’s start out by introducing yourself—and telling us about your favorite podcast episode or interview. What made it great? Eric Johnson: My name is Eric Johnson and I'm the producer of Recode Decode with Kara Swisher, which is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network. My favorite episode of the show is the interview Kara conducted with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg — an in-depth, probing discussion about how the company was doing after the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the extent of its power. In particular, I really liked the way Kara pressed Zuckerberg to explain how he felt about the possibility that his company's software was enabling genocide in Myanmar; his inability to respond emotionally to the tragedy was revealing, and because this was a podcast and not a TV interview she was able to patiently keep asking the question, rather than moving on to the next topic. Rebecca Reed: My name is Rebecca Reed and I’m an Education Consultant and Host of the Off the Assembly Line podcast. Off the Assembly Line is your weekly dose of possibility-sparking conversation with the educators and entrepreneurs bringing the future to education. My favorite episode was an interview with Julia Freeland Fisher, author of Who You Know. We talked about the power of student social capital, and the little known role it plays in the so-called “achievement gap” (or disparity in test scores from one school/district to the next).

I'm your host, Farnoosh Torabi. Kara Swisher is on the show today; tech journalist and co-founder of Recode. She is an outspoken straight-shooting reporter who for decades has been working nonstop to keep Silicon Valley and the tech world at large accountable. Kara is host of the popular podcast Recode Decode. She began her career at the Washington Post and later The Wall Street Journal, before launching her own tech media empire. I kick off the interview with Kara's take on Facebook amidst the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal and the social networks tumbling stock price. Then we hear about Kara's childhood, experiencing the loss of her dad at a young age. She also takes us down memory lane to a very specific moment in her early career when she was asking for a raise, how she earned her worth and had to ask her what tech giants will be gone in 10 years’ time? Snapchat, Twitter. You might be surprised to hear Kara's predictions. Here is Kara Swisher. [INTERVIEW] [0:01:47.1] FT: Kara Swisher. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe I just said your name on this show.

More and more often I see behaviorism at work in attempting to lure brains to a site or app and to keep them coming back day after day. This book exposes these practices and offers readers a glimpse behind the “emotional scenes” as tech companies come out psychologically fir- ing at their consumers. Unless these practices are exposed and made public, tech companies will continue to shape our brains and not in a good way.” —Larry D. Rosen, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, author of 7 books including The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High Tech World “The Psychology of Silicon Valley is a remarkable story of an industry’s shift from idealism to narcissism and even sociopathy. But deep cracks are showing in the Valley’s mantra of ‘we know better than you.’ Katy Cook’s engaging read has a message that needs to be heard now.” —Richard Freed, author of Wired Child “A welcome journey through the mind of the world’s most influential industry at a time when understanding Silicon Valley’s motivations, myths, and ethics are vitally important.” —Scott Galloway, Professor of Marketing, NYU and author of The Algebra of Happiness and The Four Katy Cook The Psychology of Silicon Valley Ethical Threats and Emotional Unintelligence in the Tech Industry Katy Cook Centre for Technology Awareness London, UK ISBN 978-3-030-27363-7 ISBN 978-3-030-27364-4 (eBook) https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-27364-4 © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2020 This book is an open access publication.

  • How Reputations Are Won and Lost in Modern Information Markets
    CENTRE FOR CORpORaTE RE puTaTiON How Reputations are Won and Lost in Modern Information Markets A white paper for policy-makers, practitioners and academics May 2014 2 University of San Diego School of Law I University of Oxford Centre for Corporate Reputation Contents 1. Introduction 5 2. Policy Implications and Recommendations 7 3. Convergent Themes 10 4 Panels 18 Appendices A Panel 1 discussion – Technological Change 28 B Panel 2 discussion – Proliferation of Stakeholders and Audiences 46 C Panel 3 discussion – Polarisation 60 D List of Speakers 70 3 1 Introduction On January 17-18, 2014, the University of San Diego Center for Corporate and Securities Law and the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation co-sponsored a conference at the University of San Diego on “How Reputations Are Won and Lost in Modern Information Markets.” The discussion included public remarks by more than a dozen prominent experts from academic, business, and media. The videotaped remarks, along with panel discussions and questions, are available at http://www.sandiego.edu/ law/school/events/webcasts/2014.php The transcripts are attached in the Appendix. After the public sessions, a Conference Editorial Board (CEB) was convened consisting of the public speakers and a small number of additional invited members. The CEB discussed the issues and themes from the public sessions, and considered the organisational and public policy implications that emerged. This White Paper contains our policy recommendations in Section 2 and summarises the conference in Section 3 and the convergent themes emerging from the subsequent discussions in Section 4. We hope this White Paper will contribute meaningfully to the debate around how modern information markets affect how organisations and institutions engage with society to deliver outcomes, and that it will be a useful reference document for policy-makers seeking insight into how they might use reputation as a mechanism to hold organisations and institutions to account.
