#JournoRequest: Saving articles, one case study at a time.
We’ve all been there. Your case study has fallen through and you’ve got an hour to find a new one. Where’s the first place you turn to? Twitter of course, and the life-saving journo request hashtag.
From women who have been stood up on a first date, to dads who have suffered post-natal depression – Twitter has it all. Although some are definitely weirder than others…
1. Because swamps just scream romance
Valentines day is fast approaching! Looking to talk to anybody who met their other half in a swamp / marsh #journorequest

2. And those Dalston ravers are probably too busy raving
Are you a regular raver in Dalston or visited a rave there? I need to speak to you nowww! #journorequest Email [email protected] — Anne Arts (@Anne_Arts) March 1, 2015
3. Sometimes they’re too specific…
Looking to speak to someone in the #yarn or #fabric sector in #Turkey, preferably #Istanbul-based #textiles #turkiye #journorequest — Samantha North (@placesbrands) February 27, 2015
4. …And sometimes they’re really vague
Looking dog lovers with stories to share (My dog walked me down the aisle, I spent 5k on my dog last yr etc) Thanks #journorequest #dogslife

5. After a long day, some journalists forget Twitter is for muggles
@QuidditchUK Need to speak to someone that plays Quidditch for an article, do you know anyone I can talk to? #journorequest #quidditch #uk — Miranda (@mlwadham) February 27, 2015
6. Some aren’t even from journalists
Before I sell my drum kit for a bass, anyone know any good bass teachers in #Coventry, #Warwickshire or #Solihull? #mbloggers #journorequest

7. Sometimes, they’re bizarre
#journorequest does anyone in the North-East have a strong opinion on self-checkout machines? — Laura Blackburn (@LauraBburn1) February 26, 2015
8. They can be purely for personal gain
What’s a girl got to do to get a last minute invite to the Brits then? #journorequest

9. But often they’re just mad
Wanted: overexcitable buffoon who’s spent the last decade trying frantically to eat the sky for article on never giving up #journorequest
