Journaliste-tech: Twitter est problématique.
Geek: Hey, journaliste-tech, viens sur Mastodon !
J-T: Olala, Twitter, c’est vraiment problématique.
Geek: Mastodon est conçu pour éviter ces problèmes.
J-T: Les 100 problèmes de Twitter !
Geek: Pourquoi tu parles pas de Mastodon ?
J-T: nan, y’a presque personne sur Mastodon, personne n’en parle, c’est trop nouveau.
Geek: Ben justement, tu pourrais…
J-T: Oh, y’a une toute nouvelle plateforme appelée Bluesky ! Venez, j’ai des invitations !

@ploum Perhaps open source projects of Mastodon's importance need a press liaison to help with media kits and press releases so that journalists can have the "easy tools" within reach that they are used to.

@canadaduane @ploum We (Mastodon) have a press mailbox and reply to any people reaching out to us.
We do nit have a presskit, but this is a good idea. Not sure what should go in it, do you have any recommendations?
For press releases, unfortunately it costs a lot of money to pay a PR firm to send those .

@renchap @canadaduane : Press releases are basically simply pre-redacted articles sent to journalists. The only advantages of PR firms are their network. It could be done inhouse by writing something serious and sending it to a list of journalists that you find manually. Less efficient but less expensive. And, in the long term, you can build your own network.
But, yeah, this is a nearly full-time job.
