Make your subject lines catchy if emailing the show, like "URGENT tip for Rachel" or "Story suggestion for Rachel Maddow Show." This can grab their attention and make it more likely for them to open your emails.
When tweeting at Rachel or producers, respond to their tweets or quote-tweet them rather than just mentioning them. This makes your message visible to all their followers.
Before contacting Rachel, carefully consider if your issue is best handled by local authorities rather than a national TV host. Weigh whether it's truly show-worthy.
When contacting the show, briefly explain why your info would be interesting to Rachel's audience. Connect it to issues she covers or relate it to current events.
If you don't get a response, try contacting a couple more times through different methods. Persistence pays off, but know when to stop.
If mailing a letter, write "PERSONAL" on the envelope in addition to the address. This signals it's not junk mail and prompts opening.
