Best Practices to Target Media – Journalists are on Twitter
• Use hash tags but search before you use them to find the best ones. Be VERY wary of acronyms
–#LOT is not a good hashtag for License of Transfer but it’s great if you have an empty lot to sell
• Use proper SEO from your site, and blogs, to help your topics appear
• Keep linked content easy to read and not legal jargon, think proper blog content not client alert content
• People read if you keep them interested, relate legal issues to topical issues
