Need input from the PR/Journalist community/blogosphere on an open source project some really smart guys are putting together as a resource for PR folks and journalists.
Mikhail Ledvich of ClickFacts and friends have come up with a new way for PR folks to get their clients' stories to journalists. StoryAngle gives PR types another outlet for their resources. Reps can post a release or propose an expert but what's interesting about this is the ability to propose different angles and specific resources for those angles. Journalists can search for story ideas, find new postings, email links around and contact PR reps or sources for their articles.
This won't replace verbal pitching and the benefits of creating one-on-one relationships with journalists, but it should help PR reps reach a wider audience with a new level of detail and provide journos with another resource.
Please remember--Mikhail is looking for *FUNCTIONALITY* input, not aesthetics-they're still working on the look and feel. Please provide feedback on what kind of options you'd like to see on the site. This is an open invite to journalists, PR reps and analysts.
