After a news reporter asked for an interview relating to my Steemit post, I asked how he found my blog. Vice reporter Craig Boudreau explained,
"I have a Feedly account that I scroll through every morning to get story ideas, prob about 40 diff sites I have linked up to it. I forget which site I found your piece on, but I can almost guarantee it was a Reddit link; they always find these types of stories. Oh wait. Yes it was Reddit. Here it is."

I am sure you have already read how I used my past experience as a former lawman to free a man busted for 36 pounds of marijuana. I am not going to bore you with a repeat. I do want to highlight the fledgling start-up, Steemit, is already being credited on a significant and popular news reporting site.
Reporter Boudreau published my story and the Steem credit on the right-of-center news blog, The Daily Caller. He opened the report with this paragraph:
"A man arrested after police found 36 pounds of marijuana taped to the roof of his van had his felony case dismissed Sunday, thanks to a former drug cop, Steemit reports Sunday." You can read his full reporting of the Steemit article here:

I predict Steemit will become a popular site for the media to cruise for good content. Unlike the media buzz created when Steem launched its one-of-a-kind blogger's heaven, this coverage is an example of an author bringing a promotion to Steemit.
Help Steemit continue its good media reputation by returning some love to reporter Craig Boudreau by visiting his report and leaving a comment.
