Does anyone have any experience pitching blog articles to newspaper editors? Or, do you know how others who got their articles published in newspapers, did it? Do we send an email or is it required to send a snail mail to the office? How do you know whom to contact? Can we send existing blog posts to them? Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

If its INTERENET PAPER, then go to their site, find their e-mail ID and mail them saying you want to write for the site, and give your blog linkSmile.

If its for your town paper, then check their paper, they would have given CONTACT INFOSmileWinkSend them your article directly along with your contact informationSurprisedLaughing.
