It's rare that a PR person or a contact isn't incredibly aware of their e-mail. Don't just ask for comment, say you're on a five-hour deadline and you'd love a comment. If they don't answer in five hours, it's fair game to say you contacted them a...

Incorrect, you CAN sell porn on eBay!
Back when I was doing newspaper reporting and working on churning out 7-9 stories that required numerous interviews for each piece, I ran into this a lot. Typically, I'd make multiple attempts to reach people and give them the opportunity to respo...
Honestly, the "proper" waiting time is exactly what you had done. However, that's responsible reporting, and even the mainstream media doesn't wait for a proper response. It's all about being the first and getting the hits.
I think if you want to...
Many articles have the obligatory 'request for comment has gone unanswered as of press time', or something along those lines. Generally when it's a juicy story. Of course, we know the person in question likely waited 10 seconds before actually pos...
I should have mentioned this before, my last ditch effort is #5, write for a free place and then cross post that to my personal blog as well. It's win-win then.

- About Me:
- Freelance Game Journalist - Currently working for Totalgaming.net doing News, GamingTarget.com as a triple threat (news, reviews and editorial content) and GetBuffed.com covering all things World of Warcraft. Just picked up a spot at AnotherCastle.com covering the Wii and doing editorial content.
Previously Worked for The Adrenaline Vault
Graduated from Drexel University in 2006 with a dual major in Mathematics and Computer Science. Currently working for a local hospital doing Database Programming and Tech Support.
I volunteer for TG.net, GT.com as well as AC.com and freelance for GetBuffed.com while I am trying to figure out what I want to do in the future. Decisions. Should I follow my passion for video games, or the stock market (hey its a game IMO) into a new full-time career or some awesome combination of both. Regardless I love the writing I have done and do not plan on stopping any time soon.
For those interested, I am only looking for work that offers some monetary gain. I have enough volunteer and semi-volunteer at the moment.

VGXPO Swag
I managed to convince a few friends to come with me to VGXPO on Saturday and I am glad that they delayed me until it was almost closed. Being pinched for money at the moment, going so late enabled me to walk in without paying anything, the guards and registration booth were gone. Secondly there was very few people there, which was good because we didn't have to wait along time to play with anything. This caused me to be able to sit down to play some Team Fortress 2 (… Continue

- I asked that very question last week and was told that Avault is unaffected by CPL'c closure. There was also a quote from Angel on the avault forums to that effect.

- Sorry it took three months to write back. Things at avault are growing slowly but surely. We lost a few writers since the relaunch, but this lull since the busy winter season should recharge our batteries.

- Yes, we never get tired of hearing that. But alas, the change seems to have performed exactly as we intended; allowing us to grow and incorporate new elements while retaining the core of our original offerings. Sometimes you have to eat your darlings ;)
Thanks for the kind words.
