More Donors Get Refunded!!!
The title says it all: More Spot.Us community members have been refunded.
Let me be the first to congratulate the funders of “How the Recession is Hitting the SF Sex Industry.”
You know how to pick em!
This piece has been refunded by Boulevards.com who in addition to owning several city websites lay claim to the Metro papers around the Bay.
They will most likely run the piece next week at SF Station. When they do – I will be singing their praises (and alerting the original donors). As outlined here – they helped to create a win-win-win situation.
But for now – I must sing the praises of Bonnie Ruberg – the reporter behind this pitch. This pitch posed a lot of lessons for Spot.Us and Bonnie was nothing but professional, understanding and in the end produced quality work that caught the attention of news organizations.
I’m certain that the original donors of this story are also very happy. So on behalf of them. THANK YOU BONNIE!!!!
What first attracted me to this story was Bonnie’s obvious specialty in the subject matter. One look at her blog and you’ll see that she is all over the subject of sex in a professional but entertaining way. I’ve seen the finished work and it is both informative and tells a story that brings the reader along for a good ride.
Looking forward to announcing when this story is published. I also hope to follow up with another blog post about lessons learned from this story which, truth be told, could have been disastrious if Bonnie weren’t already a respected and known writer on issues of sex. But more on that in the future. For now – it’s a celebration.
