		<title>Comment on Pitching Wire Services by Jon Greer</title>

		<description>It's not that they don't "include social media in their approaches," it's that social media is not their source of stories or their customers. They generate stories either as wire services themselves or repackaging stories from newspapers, and their job is to get those stories out to whoever is buying them. I suppose at some point they might send out blog posts or online -only stories, but my hunch is that there isn't much of a market for those yet.</description>

		<description>Jason,

Thanks for linking to me. Might I add, freelancers are excellent resources. They are typically always looking for work -- writing does pay their bills -- and cultivating relationships with a core group of them can benefit a company, especially if the writing load is already heavy.

Furthermore, the creme de la creme freelancers can get you in touch with editors of the same.</description>
