Trade your rolodex?

I don’t actually own a rolodex. I do have a unorganized drawer filled with business cards that I’ve collected, but as I eschew paper whenever I can, most of my contacts are consolidated into my LinkedIn account and my Outlook contacts.

I’d like to trade my list of Buffalo-area media contacts and online outlets with someone from outside the region, specifically someone who is not in the higher education industry (as would technically be a competitor). Knowledge is power, and you never know when you’d need media information about Buffalo.

This list is 99% publically available, so I’m not sharing anything secret. As I’ve collected this information over the past two years, and it represents dozens of hours of work.

Some specifics:

80+ print, web, and broadcast sources covering western New York and Canada

30+ bonus upstate New York sources

As an additional bonus, I’ll throw in my go-to social media outlets.
