Hey guys,

I have been compiling a list of journalists that have actively reported on altcoins in the past several months, as well as reaching out to several personal friends I have in the media from my time studying journalism before I moved into marketing.

So far I have sent about 20 emails to various writers and editors at publications such as Bloomberg, USA Today, the Houston Chronicle, the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, and more. I will be sending more in the days to come. (actually as I was writing this I received a reply from a writer at Bloomberg asking for some more details on Blackcoin so so far so good!).

My whole goal of course is to continue to increase mainstream awareness about BC to help contribute to the building of a viable future for this coin. I will post any updates I receive from writers, and I might also reach out to some of you for contact information to be used as a source in future articles.

An FYI about me: I am a Director of Marketing & Communications for a large non-profit based in Texas, so media campaigns, branding, and awareness building are what I do.

Also, if you happen to have any contacts that you think I should add to my list and would like me to reach out to, please do not hesitate to PM me.

I'm doing all this in my free time (aren't we all) and would definitely appreciate any donations you feel led to throw my way BC: BQnTT3hY5Jq9vwgDRi5LkiXpuxM8U42xvy

How do you get the emails of those people?

Many are publicly available through the publication's website. Quite a few are people that I know personally from my time as a photojournalist.
I just got a reply from a writer at the Financial Times (one of my cold-call emails), the very basic goal of what I am doing is to put the bug in reporters ears to think of Blackcoin when they are writing about Bitcoin. Even a mention in an article boosts public awareness. Best case scenario will be multiple positive stories from well-regarded news outlets that actually feature Blackcoin as a viable Bitcoin alternative.
