Will Yahoo beat CNBC??
Compare all the bubbly-bubbly-twit-twit-raah-raah-crap-crap
of CNBC with this cool guy
vision.yahoo.com
But it is not easy being a journalist, not even danish
(we have this common cool thing with the swedes, but surfing
corporate sites is maybe not the definition of a
professional provider of information, reporter or
journalist??)

Co-authors Nielsen and Kara Pernice Coyne minced no
words. "Most of the PR sections of sites we have studied
fail to support journalists in their quest for facts,
information, and points of contact that they can use when
they write stories about companies or their products," the
pair writes.
No disagreement from me on that point.

great dane thing, kind of??

Generally speaking,
corporate PR online is about as helpful as a second
bellybutton. As a reporter, I wish corporations provided
better information online.
But perhaps that's the point.

yeah, must be a point in being a surfing, copy and paste reporter??

A writer on a tight
deadline for a critical story might not bother getting in touch
with a company if a PR contact isn't readily available, and
may even go with only a quote from a competitor, Coyne
notes.

Interesting that the cool guy actually uses a mobile phone,
same cannot be said about the old fart CNBC guys who
probably try to use a CNBC secretary for the same purpose.

P.S. According to the alternative dictionary "old fart"
is OK for those who match the description. |
