Don’t forget that many local reporters base their coverage schedules on the events listed in the AP Daybook. If you get into the Daybook, you’ll have reporters show up from outlets that you did not have an opportunity to contact directly.
Google “getting in the AP daybook” for several good guides on doing so.
A good overview of the effects of not getting into the Daybook is covered at the following link. The reporter’s description of Daybook mechanics starts about halfway down:

Yall were in Charlotte way ahead of schedule! I saw the blimp and got a video clip at 5:20pm. Good job, much later than that and it would have been too dark to see.

Is Columbia, SC going to be the closest the blimp will be coming to the Atlanta area this year? Our family would LOVE to see the blimp and know of other metro-area families that would also. Thanks.

I would love to see the blimp over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge with a parade of boats with banners underneath. It would make for some everlasting imagery.
