Posted on By Lee Simpson, account director at Fourth Day PR. I’ve never been comfortable with the ancient grudge that exists between PRs and journos. As much as I enjoy reading relentless PR bashing on Twitter (and even recently on the opening page of Sathnam Sanghera’s Empireland, bemoaning the 90,000 unread emails in his inbox from PRs) […]
