I was featured in the NY Sun last year, and how that happened was basically luck. Last summer my mom was sitting in Union Square Park talking to the woman sitting on the bench next to her about her daughter working her way to college and the woman just happened to be a reporter! And then once one paper publishes the story, sometimes other papers want in as well (the New York Post came to my doorstep the day after the article came out!)/.
It’s lots of luck.
