Why not yours' If you're the expert on bankers, or single parents, there's hardly a better way to tell the media than by releasing surveys of your market group. It's easy to do ' almost all media outlets accept informal or online polling. You don't have to hire a research company, you can just have clients or colleagues check a few boxes on a photocopied form. You don't have to release a massive book of results, you can just send media people a press release highlighting the most newsworthy responses. The general media aren't professional journals: they don't insist on strict statistical methodology. They just want a good story.
