Thanks to @prsarahevans for tweeting the link to Charlotte’s outstanding blog post! As a PR consultant and sometime reporter, everything you mentioned here Charlotte is invaluable for me to remember and also share with clients.I appreciate all the comments as well, (although I respectfully disagree with Andrew).
The best business stories I’ve written have resulted from access to an optimal amount of easily understood information from very effective PR people and also making sure I fact-checked everything. I learned that lesson the hard way as a rookie reporter. Journalists these days are way more overworked and underpaid than when I started out, so I do my best to help them tell the story in the best possible way by seeing to it I give them everything they need and then some (including access to me 24/7 via phone). At the end of the day, as Lauren says, how the story is written or broadcast is ultimately the reporter’s call (and their editor).
I’m passing this blog post along to every PR person I know! Thanks again.

Great blog post (thanks to @prsarahevans for tweeting the link). I think your #15 Cold Hard Fact is so dead-on. Reporters are under tighter deadlines than ever these days as they all multi-task and “multi-job”. Just because YOU are psyched about your topic, does not mean they are. But who cares?! You still get to tell your story. Spot-on Charlotte!
