Just got my first “Dear Sir/Madam” PR of 2018!
Dear PR peeps who slide in my inbox asking for coverage. My name isn't Danielle. Thanks!
If I don't get a PR pitch in the next hour about how Facebook would be better off ranking news trustworthiness using the blockchain, I will be extremely disappointed.
nothing says "totally great and well-thought out PR stunt" like winding up with a picture of Dear Leader above a message saying "error" all over the Internet
.@DearPR, If you ask what my deadline is and I say my deadline is ASAP, then... No. There is no more specific time. I regret to inform you that I cannot give you a drop-dead deadline. The drop-dead time is now, or as close to now as possible. 🙂 XOXO, T
Do you want to tell him or should I tell him
Registered for CES but didn't go to CES but I still get all the CES pitches so it's grrrrrreat.
Dear PR person: Nope. Nope to the idea that I need to schedule an interview with your client so he can "talk me through" his latest product launch. #prfail
Dear PR people: happy new year! please stop pitching "deskside" meetings. there's no such thing as a deskside meeting. no reporter has ever done a deskside meeting. everyone in the newsroom would be annoyed. expunge the term from your pitch strategy. happy new year
Dear PR folks: I am not going to @CES. I no longer cover tech for @HuffPost or @TechRepublic. Sunlight is not going to write about your AI/VR/AR/drone/car/battery/app/gadget. Please update your lists, as your emails are going straight to my circular file. Thank you! #CES18 #CES
In daily PR pitches of the day... "Dear Alana, It’s divorce season! According to legal experts, January is most popular time of year for Americans to file for divorce."
Dear PR people: Cut it out with the cryptocurrency pitches, OK? I don't think I've ever written about them, and have no plans to in the immediate future.
PR people are asking for "feedback" now?
Selections from one of the most annihilating PR emails I received this year, just under the wire
A reminder: no one wants an email from you until next week. Even if they are back at their desk today.
No matter how much I write about lethal injections, Supreme Court rulings, mental illness in jails, and the Russia investigation, PR folks still ask me if I'm working on any holiday gift guides this week.
@DearPR Don't send me fidget spinners as a gift for a review then ask for them back
An editor friend at a lifestyle website who will remain nameless politely declined to review some cutting-edge thingamabob that some start-up sent her. The PR flack's response: "Well, if my parents were still alive I would definitely get one for them."
CES pitches are like weeds — you delete a bunch and then twice as many spring up in their place
