 Now there's a second website where reporters and PR people can give each other a hand in developing stories or doing research. Pitching Notes in the Orlando area joins Help a Reporter Out (HARO) in New York as a site where PR reps and reporters can connect to develop stories or leads. Pitching Notes went live in March but really started gaining traffic in October, an Orlando Sentinel story says. It now has more that 1,200 registered users and profiles of more that 200 reporters from print, television and digital outlets.
HARO started in 2008 and says it's been of assistance to nearly 30,000 newspeople.
