Asking it here instead of commenting in the blog for more eyeballs:

1. The (only) media covering startups for my target market happens to be funded by the same investor and in the same company group with the startup I'm competing with. How to deal with this?

2. How to deal the case where you get reply from more than one media near simultaneously (after you BCC-spam them). Promising each of them "exclusive info" seems weird right? Should you honestly reply the rest, "Sorry folks, one media already replied."?

1. One journalist at a time. Journalists often have very different integrity and biases than their employers.

2. I don't understand why you think you need to offer exclusives at all. So I don't really understand the question.

Just kicking the assumptions on point 1 - what's the start-up? what's the target market? What's the media?
