Media: LA’s Top 100 NON-Celebrity Bloggers You Should Take to Lunch

If you had the choice to take either a prime-time NBC newscaster, an LA Times reporter, PR Firm Publicist or a blogger to lunch at the Ivy on Robertson in Beverly Hills, who would you pick? This is not a trick question. If you took the newscaster out (pick any: Lisa Hernandez ABC7, Jessica Holmes KTLA5, Leslie Miller – ABC7, Lisa Siegel KCAL9. Kim Baldonado – NBC4) you’d have a big media van with requisite ET phone home dish on the roof and strobe lights accompany you.

Network Newscasters don’t have a cult following (update: ummm, we might be wrong)

If you took the LA Times reporter out, you’d only have one photog with you but the guy would look really smart. And all the people at Ivy would think you were smart by association. If you took a blogger out to lunch, none of the above would happen. Nobody would notice. Well, nobody but the following:

Top Ten Reasons to Take a Blogger to Lunch as Opposed to Some Hot Newscaster:
10. Network news will give you 15 seconds.

9. Network news broadcasts to everybody (not a good thing).

8. The LA Times ends up in a land fill (or used as bathroom tissue in TJ cantinas).

7. You can’t Google Channel 7, 5, 2, 13, or (wait. do analogue channels even exist any more?)…

6. You can’t Google a newspaper

5. LA Times journalists don’t have a cult following.

4. Network Newscasters don’t have a cult following (update: ummm, we might be wrong)

3. Bloggers do have a cult following and personal influence with their readers

2. Bloggers will get you into Google

1. Google

If that’s not enough reason to pander to the power of bloggers, I really can’t help you. You’ll have to refer to the Top 100 Los Angeles PR Public Relations Firms bring your check book.

If you’re convinced, you’ll find the top 100 most influential NON-celebrity bloggers right here. Just start scrolling. Get ready. Make like garlic ‘cuz they’ll get you press.
