Jerimiah Moerke is interested in receiving anything about local people and issues that will appeal to his local audience. “It’s got to have a very local hook to it and an obvious local hook,” he says. “Just because something is a trend nationally doesn’t mean it is here.” Press releases should be written like a news story, with the most important information at the top. “It’s got to get to the point within the first sentence or two,” says Moerke. “Otherwise I’ll delete it or throw it out.” Pitch him via e-mail at news(at)valleynewslive.com. He accepts high-resolution images and attachments. A follow-up call is welcome. However, multiple calls regarding the same pitch are NOT appreciated.
