Mallory's screening service

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory wants to hear about all press inquiries, just not first-hand.

Jason Barron, Mallory's communications director, sent out an e-mail to the media Tuesday clairifying the procedure for getting the mayor on the phone. In a nutshell: Call Barron first.

Here's the e-mail:

Good afternoon:

It has come to my attention that there is some uncertainty surrounding
the proper procedure for media inquiries to the Mayor's office. I want ensure
that the proper process is clear so that all media inquires are handled in a
prompt and efficient manner. In order to reach the Mayor, all media inquiries
should be directed to me. I can be reached by phone at 513-352-5356(office)or e-mail at jason.barron@cincinnati-oh.gov

In the past, it has been possible to reach the Mayor through a variety
of phone numbers. In order to ensure efficiency, it will no longer be possible
to reach the Mayor in this way. All requests should come directly to me and I
will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. Requests to any
phone number beyond the two listed above will not be able to be
addressed. I am here to help, so please feel free to let me know how I can be
of assistance.
