Query:
Copy is king, they say, and that's certainly true in a digital
world. Consumer appetite for content is at an all-time high and
continuing to grow. That's great for organizations that have
well-oiled content creation teams in place to meet the demand.
For others, though, developing content on a regular basis that
is high quality and focused on issues/topics that resonate with
their audiences can be a challenge. The gig economy can help. A
wide range of freelancers and contract content creators are
available to organizations to help produce content for any
format. Where can companies find them? What should they look
for/look out for?
I'm interested in hearing from organizations that hire/have
hired freelancers to help with content creation (not
freelancers, agencies or content marketing firms).

Our Thought Leaders in Online Education (TLOE) blog is a
follow-up to our highly successful Thought Leaders series (TLBD,
TLCC, TLMS). In TLOE, we interview thought leaders in the
educational technology/online education sectors -- whether they
are entrepreneurs building great companies, product/user
experience designers building great products, deans at colleges
and universities, or executives at large companies with unique
perspectives on how the education industry is evolving. We
discuss trends, disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities,
monetization models, challenges, socio-cultural impact and much
more in a seven-part series. This blog is part of the One
Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to help a
million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue. 1M/1M
has syndication relationships with many venues: HBR, Xconomy,
SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India), Women 2.0, Mashable,
Huffington Post, Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, and several
other sites. Articles we develop through these interviews often
get repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and among the top 100 influencers on
the topic of cloud computing. Sramana Mitra was also named as
one of the top 10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015
(https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). Indicate in your pitch the revenue
level, as we use this as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. Our audience is extremely
sophisticated, so the conversation needs to be equally
interesting.

Category: Energy and Green TechEmail: query-b4r2@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Commercial Property Executive
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 13 August
Query:
The article is to deal with protecting the electric grid against
the threat of cyberattack. The inspiration is a July 28
statement from a group called Protect Our Power, a coalition of
stakeholders dedicated to the security of the U.S. power
infrastructure (see below). The article should focus on:
* What are the issues involved and actions the U.S. should be
taking to address the threat of cyberattack?
* What steps should commercial property owners take, if any, to
mitigate the disruption to their operations in the event of a
cyberattack?
WASHINGTON, July 28, 2020 - Electric grid advocacy group Protect
Our Power today urged continued and enhanced coordination
between utilities and federal agencies to urgently address
threats to critical infrastructure, as highlighted by the recent
advisory from the National Security Agency (NSA) and the
Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
According to Jim Cunningham, Executive Director of Protect Our
Power:
"The recent Cybersecurity Advisory from NSA and CISA confirms
the urgency of what Protect Our Power has been advocating for
several years now - our electric grid faces very real threats on
a daily basis, and we need to prioritize and address our known
vulnerabilities in a comprehensive and unified manner.
"As this joint report highlights, this is especially true with
regard to Internet-accessible Operational Technology (OT)
assets, which are becoming much more prevalent across critical
infrastructure sectors, including electricity, as companies and
workers increase remote operations.
"Addressing grid threats will require a combination of
government funding and regulatory incentives encouraging
utilities to invest in cybersecurity. It is also critical that
utilities and key government agencies continue to proactively
share cybersecurity information so that all asset owners know
about incoming attacks and effective best practices and
resources to repel or mitigate those attacks. The grid is only
as strong as its weakest link."
About Protect Our Power Protect Our Power is a not-for-profit
organization designed to build a consensus among key
stakeholders, decision-makers and public policy influencers to
launch a coordinated and adequately funded effort to make the
nation's electric grid more resilient and more resistant to all
external threats. POP is singularly and uniquely positioned as a
non-partisan, unbiased thought leader able to serve as a
convening, moderating, action-oriented voice.
Requirements:
Phone interview or written responses sought.

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 13 August
Query:
For our Entrepreneur Journeys series, we're looking to interview
founders who have bootstrapped their companies on top of a cloud
platform / PaaS. The company need not be fully bootstrapped, it
could be a Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later story. But the
PaaS angle is a requirement. For background, please read the
blog post, Bootstrapping by Piggybacking
(https://www.sramanamitra.com/2019/12/18/bootstrapping-by-piggybacking/).
The Entrepreneur Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and
we're looking for interesting companies with at least $5 million
in annual revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is
willing to discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue
level, industry (Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing,
SaaS, Mobile, Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media,
Gaming, Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the
story angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

otherwise."

Have Canadian police ever commandeered a land vehicle? If so,

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 12 August
Query:
Hello,
I'm a reporter working for a collaboration between Kansas NPR
stations. I'm working on a story about how the pandemic has
affected the operation of state courts in Kansas. The state
Supreme Court has issued orders for district courts to comply
with local mask regulations, social distancing, remote work and
other modifications throughout the pandemic. The state has also
awarded grant money to some courts to help them buy laptops and
other tech to enable working from home. I'm looking for anyone
who can give me some context for safety and social distancing in
courts, or someone who can talk about technology and court
modernization and how it's been affected by the pandemic. This
would be a recorded phone interview for use in a written story
on our website. It's possible, but unlikely that a small clip of
audio will be used in a radio story for the station.
Nomin Ujiyediin KCUR/Kansas News Service (816) 235-8026
Nomin@kcur.org
Requirements:
Someone who is knowledgeable about pandemic safety in courtrooms
or who is an expert in the use of technology in state courts. I
am especially interested in getting context for why technology
in courts is so outdated.
