Anyone know, or have experience with, an honest online News
Service?
For 6 years, here in New York City, I have been promoting
music theater shows.
In other years. I hired a press agent. This year (2016) for In
Kharms Way I decided to try an online News Service.

McKenzie News Service seemed to me to fit the bill, since it
specialized in the performing arts. It seemed honest, given what appeared on
their web page.
NOT! BIG MISTAKE! McKenzie didn’t even bother to fake a
press release. I am now $190 poorer, and possibly that much wiser.
Press Agents here in NYC are expensive. Although Press
Agents can be found for $1000-$1500, a common fee is $10,000 (and then add any
actual costs of advertising). With the advent of the Internet, I’m not sure how
relevant traditional Press Agents are. And with my latest experience with
McKenzie News Service, I’m totally wary of the online variety.
