http://debatez.com/forum/discussion/4464/my-successful-pronounce-nevada-guerrilla-twitter-campaign-vs-the-eastern-media-and-politicians
Hopefully, over the past few days you have witnessed the major turnaround in the number of national media anchors and pundits who now correctly pronounce our state of Nevada. It was no accident. I am sure that Jon Ralston and Carolyn Goodman should get some credit but I truly believe it was my week long guerrilla Twitter "media shaming" campaign that was largely responsible.
