Publicists should feel free to pitch anytime, although they should avoid pitching individual products or new company officer announcements. They should focus on science-based stories that are better told be a journalist than an expert. Email is always the preferred method for pitching. Writers should explain their idea and list the sources they plan to speak with. Also include one or two clips, or links to online writing samples. Editors try to respond in two to three weeks, but if you haven't heard back within a month feel free to follow up.

This website covers molecular biology research and diagnostics. The fundamentals of working with bloggers are the same as with traditional journalists at traditional media outlets: respect their schedules; take time to read their material to learn their interests; and only contact them if/when they want to be contacted. You will also find that if a blogger is a journalist for another outlet(s), Cision tracks their contact preferences there as well. The outlet offers RSS (Really Simple Syndication).
