San Diego Startup Week

Interacting with journalists is an art, not a science. Getting journalists to cover your company or product can have a profound impact on the adoption of a new technology or growth of a company.

Learn from Jennifer Van Grove, the technology journalist at the San Diego Union Tribune, how she and other journalists do and don't like to be pitched, how she choses topics, what's newsworthy, and what is just plain annoying. 

Following an initial presentation and discussion, you will have the opportunity to live pitch Jen with your idea, and she will give you live feedback. This is an extraordinary opportunity to get real constructive feedback from an established tech journalist, versus wondering why a journalist opened your email about your awesome new technology and never responsed.
