The show accepts mailed video, books and samples of products along with press kits. General information and news should be faxed to the news assignment desk. Breaking news and day of news is distributed through "the slot," the rotation of reporters that answer calls and faxes to the assignment desk for a certain time frame.

You will also find that if a blogger is a journalist for another outlet(s), Cision tracks their contact preferences there as well.
