I was living in NYC until very recently, when I came down to Texas to cover a story and was planning on moving down to Mexico for a while but have now received several offers from wealthy individuals who are promising to provide funding to my organization Project PM and perhaps even start a new cable outlet and put me in partial charge of it, and so I will remain in Dallasfor at least six months before relocating to either LA or back to NYC, most likely. At any rate my next book is coming out in August so I have to remain around for media stuff, and the place in Mexico I was intending to return to does not have firm connections to the outside world, which is why I was originally intending on going there.

Great - very much looking forward to having you on tomorrow. Are you based in TX now? For some reason I was under the impression that you're in NYC.

Yes, 8 EST is good. I have to re-download Skype and see what my username was or else set up another one and will e-mail back with that info later today.

Wonderful! Very excited to have you on. What is your Skype user name? I can test the connection with you tomorrow afternoon - just name a time that works with you. And just to make sure we are on the same page - 8 pm Eastern?

Lucy-

Certainly. I am in Dallas at the moment, but am equipped to do the interview via Skype. I believe that 8 pm would work best for me. Feel free to call or e-mail if you need further info or need to set things up further.

Dear Mr. Brown,

I wanted to reach out to you to see whether you might be available to join us for an interview tomorrow to discuss the media fallout following the publication of the controversial Rolling Stone article on McChrystal. You've written a great piece on why the hacks hate Hastings and I would love to invite you to discuss this issue further.

I'm not sure where you are based - NYC? If so we have studios at 1 Penn Plaza. If you happen to be travelling tomorrow we have studios in DC, LA and Miami and can also arrange a live interview via Skype video chat. All you'd need is access to the internet, a free Skype account and a web cam (the built in laptop ones usually work just fine). As for times - we broadcast at 4, 5, 7 and 8 PM EST so if you were interested and available, just let me know which hour works best for you. 

This would be a 5-8 minute interview for RT (Russia Today) -- a 24/7 English-language news channel that focuses on providing an innovative and distinct angle on world views. Our viewership spans over six continents. 

I hope to hear back from you soon!

All my best,

Lucy
