While I realise that you mentioned people shouldn't make assumptions, I feel that without PR, journalists would find themselves working a lot harder to get a story ready for a tight deadline.

Stuart, fair points raised there, but I think for a lot of PR types, it's not a case of being rude and impersonal deliberately but that they have so many publications to target that they don't have the time to send out personalised invites or do a bit of research on people.

For example, since taking up a new position, I've been lurking on a lot of blogger sites that talk about matters relevant to my clients, next up I'll post the odd reply and then down the line, where relevant, I'll get in touch, but that's adding considerably to my day and, so it's not interfering with other work, something I'm doing in my own hours.

Stuart - I'm with you - good, well thought out and researched pitches are appreciated with me.

I don't have the time to discover new stuff as much as I'd like, so relevant stuff sent to me is good.

Doug - and yes, the point that it's a very personal thing is completely valid - any public is full of individuals, and in PR practice we tend to generalise and assume one public comprises people who are all the same, when in reality of course they're not. Bloggers, like journalists, are all different and see things from their own personal point of view.

Steve,

Right-on post! A much-needed dollop of common sense, with a little research (gasp!) added to opinion. thanks!

the thing I'm taking from all of these various PR-related posts over the last couple of weeks is that the opinion in each piece works for the author, but doesn't really apply anywhere else. (Yes, I'm over-generalizing. Adjust your brains accordingly).
