That virtually all DanceSport media would take up on news that are generated at the premier WDSF events should not come as much of a surprise. All along, a number of DanceSport websites relied on WDSF Communications to provide them with up-to-date and comprehensive information from championships, GrandSlam events, etc. No problem, but remember that you will always get the scoop here first!
Over the past two days, we discover that general media outlets are also turning regularly to our global feed - not only for general information, but for ready-to-be-published content as well.
The news of Edita Daniute and Mirko Gozzoli winning the 2013 PD World Standard in Bassano, ITA, made headlines in the Lithuanian media. A number of them embedded the "Winners' ITV" from the WDSF YouTube channel DanceSport Total to expand on their online stories. No wonder that the 2-minute clip accrued some 15,000 views in just over 24 hours!
Here are some of the posts by Lithuanian general media outlets!
