It has been recommended that writers be easy to get too if they wish to promote themselves, because many media outlets may wish to contact them for an interview. Writers should be findable for publicity sake and if they write articles to propel their own publicity it makes sense for them to have a by-line, which makes them easy to find. This way someone can easily look them up on the Internet you see?

If a reporter cannot contact them easily because and they might be on a deadline then of course the articles they write are doing no good and the reporter will simply move on. Now obviously this makes no sense at all does it?

How should you make sure that they can find you? Well if you write in a Trade Journal you should put your phone number in it. If you write online articles and put them on an online submission article website then you should put a link to your website. You website then needs immediate contact information so these reporters can get to you.

If you do not want a lot of people contacting you, but also do want the reporters to contact you then it makes sense to have a separate page or section on your website; Media Contacts. You might even writer; Media Contacts Only, so that salespeople do not use it to contact you too. Consider all this in 2006.
