At every debate I am
approached by many reporters and photographers. Once the interview is done or
the photos are taken all that is left are the memories. I ask for business
cards but very few people from the media carry them. This makes it difficult to
follow up. Enter the trusty notebook. For the first time, I brought a steno pad
with me to the debate scene. When it was possible, I wrote down the name and
contact information for those I interacted with. This made it easier in
some cases to search for media placement. I could also follow up with some reporters
by email.
While standing outside the
Gaillard Center, someone walked by and told me, “You’re a great American.”
Another person said, “Hey. I just saw you on TV….I think it was Channel 4.”
Angela Brown was the reporter who interviewed me for Channel 4, WCIV (ABC).
I was also interviewed by Danielle
Hinsley for Channel 2, WCBD – Charleston. I had additional interviews with reps
from Channel 5, WCSC – Charleston and Channel 22, WJCL (ABC) – Savannah.
Derrick from Channel 46, WTAT (FOX) – Charleston interviewed me, too. https://www.fox46charlotte.com/news/dem-debate-takes-over-streets-of-charleston-tuesday-ahead-of-primary. An excerpt from that one found its way into the Charleston City Paper.
I spoke with Logan Cyrus, a
representative from AFP (French media). His interview and photos were picked up
by MSN.com.

The first time I located
coverage on Twitter was as a result of an interview with Caitlyn Byrd. https://twitter.com/MaryCaitlinByrd/status/1232388425703153668.
When a reporter from Reuters
Video asked if I would talk with him I, of course, agreed. https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/de/idUSKBN20J1KE
Likewise when Ben Briscoe from CBS told me he had a Facebook page where he posted his interviews and overviews.

My interaction with Elizabeth
Frantz (Reuters) paid off with coverage in the New Hampshire Union Leader. https://www.unionleader.com/news/national/carol-dunitz-stands-outside-the-tenth-democratic-presidential-debate-at/image_3120f5f5-a84a-5a1f-8857-49c1ec5eecc7.html

And what fun it is to see coverage in
foreign publications. Erik Bergin from the Swedish Daily News (Svenska Dagbladet) spoke with me
and included a photo and nice mention in Swedish! https://www.svd.se/hon-skriver-valmusikal-om-att-dumpa-trump
Likewise,
coverage in Mundo Latino Newspaper.

I spoke with Emily Benson
from the Bertelsmann Foundation, Lydia Blackstone from the State in Columbia as
well as a representative from Bloomberg News. A photographer from AP shot a few
stills. I have not been able to locate any press from these sources – but they
may be out there somewhere.
