the world's smartest travel social network
I've had great co-operation from Kathy Motton, NYC & Company's Toronto representative. She arranged excellent complimentary accommodation for me in the heart of Manhattan for two NYC stories I had proposed. Unfortunately, a blizzard stopped me dead on the NY Thruway near Rochester and I eventually turned tail for Toronto. Kathy offered equivalent help when I head back again in spring.
They used to be quite helpful, when it was run by Chrystine Nicholas, who used to be Guiliani's press secretary and both used to juggling journo deadlines and intimately familiar with the importance and value of good media relations. Not any more.
Maybe they are totally overwhelmed because everybody in the world wants to visit NYC and write about it. I get the sense they've decided it's just easier to ignore any and all journo requests than to try to choose which one to assist, unless your name is Oprah. They were no help when I was writing my latest NYC guidebook, so I didn't even bother to ask for help writing my NYC app. It's also more difficult getting permission to access their royalty-free photos than it used to be.
