Natchez Democrat Story
Excerpt from a November 2017 digital story in the Natchez, Mississippi Democrat:
“Few people in Natchez know Randy Yagi from CBS. Thanks to the West Coast travel writer, millions of people may now know more about Natchez. Yagi’s article reporting from his three-day trip to Natchez is being seen in San Francisco, Portland, Chicago, and 20 other CBS outlets across the country. The exposure is just what Natchez needs, public relations expert Lou Hammond told the Natchez-Adams County Chamber of Commerce Tourism Council Monday”.
‘One man, three days, 23 outlets with a reach of 489 million people’. Hammond said. “That is the power of syndication.”
