'Twas the Day After Christmas in the Newsroom, and all the reporters were looking for Pulitzer items

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Dec. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- As you get ready to think about things that could help you win that Pulitzer next year...here are some things for all the reporters in your newsroom:

1) FOR POLITICAL REPORTERS, BUSINESS REPORTERS, SPORTS REPORTERS AND MUSIC REPORTERS...

*Whenever you hear politicians talk about "Income Inequality" after they've just attended a $50,000 a plate fundraising dinner...

*Whenever you hear about athletes getting mega million dollar contracts just for playing ball...

*Whenever you hear about a CEO getting millions of dollars in a severance deal just for getting fired...

...feel free to let your audience know that they can vent their frustrations about money with a song about money called "Big Bucks."

If money is indeed the root of all evil, you're going to love a song called "Big Bucks."

You can hear a free clip of Big Bucks at www.barrows.com/music.html and there is also a link on that page where you can download the song for 99 cents on iTunes.

2)...AND FOR BUSINESS REPORTERS...

If you do any stories about jobs, the economy, the state of manufacturing in America, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, you might also be interested in taking a look at a poem called "It used to be Made in America." The poem is about the loss of jobs and the consequences of the outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries.

You can see the poem online at www.itusedtobemadeinamerica.com

3) FOR FEATURE WRITERS ALREADY LOOKING AT THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT FOR VALENTINE'S DAY....

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Just watch how quickly all the Christmas things come down in the local stores and watch how quickly the Valentine's Day things go up. (Same candies, just a different package)...And if you're looking for a very special angle to write about for Valentine's Day, here is something you might get a kick out of when you're writing about speed dating, computer dating and true love (for a night)...

...Check out a press release headlined "22 WAYS TO SAY NO TO A DATE, WITHOUT HURTING HIS MANHOOD TOO BADLY"

You can see the release online at http://www.prlog.org/12052897

4) FOR BUSINESS REPORTERS...

This year is almost already history, and all kinds of businesses are trying to figure out ways that they can make a lot more money next year. One thing that all kinds of businesses can do is to take a look at some easy-to-use advertising math that can help them increase their sales, increase their profit and decrease their risk, starting immediately.

The math is math that actually lets you QUANTIFY the relationship between your advertising and sales, and all kinds of businesses (including media companies) can use the math to help them make a lot more money. The math is called "The Barrows Popularity Factor" and you can read more about it and download a booklet called "The Barrows Popularity Factor" for $4.95 at www.barrows.com/bpfinfo.html.

5) FOR OBITUARY WRITERS AND FEATURE WRITERS, TOO...

Take a look at a video tombstone called the Video Enhanced Gravemarker (U.S. Patent #7,089,495). You can see more about it at www.barrows.com/invention.html

Video tombstones will have a tremendous impact on many aspects of society:

*Video tombstones will change the way we look at life and death.

*Video tombstones will change the way that history is told.

*Video tombstones will create some very interesting controversies.

*Video tombstones will also create some fascinating free speech issues, depending on what people might say from beyond their grave through their video tombstone...and will it be truth or lies?

*Video tombstones will also create some interesting changes in estate law.

*Video tombstones will also create two new industries...manufacturing video tombstones and producing videos for use in video tombstones

*Video tombstones will create a lot of new revenue opportunities for many sectors of the funerary industry.

*Video tombstones will also make cemeteries fascinating places to visit.

6)...AND FOR BOOK REPORTERS AND ENTERTAINMENT REPORTERS...

VIDEO TOMBSTONES WILL ALSO CREATE A WHOLE NEW GENRE OF STORYTELLING, PERFECT FOR MOVIES, BOOKS AND TV...

You might also want to take a look at a book called "Cemetery of Lies" by Robert Barrows, the inventor of the Video Enhanced Gravemarker. Cemetery of Lies is a collection of intimate, secret confessions, as told from beyond the grave, through video tombstones. You can see more about "Cemetery of Lies" at www.barrows.com/novel.html
