Free Range Kids is a blog about parenting and children. 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. This blog offers RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Lenore is available for press spots. You can contact Lenore directly at Lskenazy@yahoo.com, or her representative, Judy Safern at Leading Thinkers: judy@leadingthinkers.com .
