Rob Baykian produces the long-form show, “Capitol Pressroom,” which consists almost exclusively of in-studio interviews, as well as some spot news programs for Michigan Radio. He is only interested in press releases pertaining to statewide politics, government and public affairs. He strongly urges PR firms NOT to send stories that are strictly national. “If it is national or international, there has to be a Michigan hook to it or else we just don’t bother with it,” he says. Pitch him by e-mail at least one day in advance; attachments are NOT welcome.
Michigan Radio Network delivers news and information programming to over 60 stations throughout the state of Michigan. “Capitol Pressroom” covers state capital news every Friday at 8:36 a.m.
