Have you done them on a consistent basis, as I am able to do Lifehack articles every couple of weeks?

I have also just published an article in the Sunday edition of a newspaper, described here, with a paper edition reaching 420K readers and monthly visits of 5 million.

In 2012 I talked to rougly one journalist per month.

I have also just published an article in the Sunday edition of a newspaper, described here, with a paper edition reaching 420K readers and monthly visits of 5 million.

Okay, that's more than thousands.

I think that article. There's no deep analysis what ISIS wants but that's okay for a mainstream publication and recruiting is a factor.

Cool, thanks for the links, much appreciated!

Separately, I'd be curious about your experience talking to journalists about rationality. Think you can do a discussion post about that?
