If the articles ran online, by all means, share the links via social media. I don’t see anything wrong with scanning and sharing them on social media when you don’t have a link to the article online. Just spread out the posts rather than bunching them all out together.

I would only do that if you’re sending it to a weekly newspaper. A weekly might use the info, but a daily probably wouldn’t and radio and TV definitely wouldn’t.

You could also send a completed press release to your endorser with media contact info. and suggest that he/she email it instead of you.

You mention the binder you kept of media clips. My new book’s launch is generating some newspaper clips. What is a good way to use these? Is it worth it to keep them in a binder? I thought about scanning & putting them on social media. Is that too cheesy?

Whoops! Thanks for letting me know, Mili. (I’m still laughing.) I just fixed it so I won’t confuse anyone else.
