According to journalists,
too many organizations .....
- Write long, boring
press releases that don't stand a chance of being published.
- Send in dull and
boring photographs which don't stand a chance of being printed.
- Send these boring
press releases and dull photographs to the wrong people anyway - bad
targeting.
- Send these boring
press releases and photographs not only to the wrong people but also
at the wrong time - normally after the deadline.
- Hold press conferences
unnecessarily - 90% are a waste of time, money and effort.
- When they do hold
potentially interesting press conferences, they do so in a long winded,
badly organized and ill-timed fashion.
- When they have
got something to say they do not, invariably, individually 'tailor'
their PR approach.
- Rarely think up
creative suggestions - or 'angles' - of the type that might titillate
the interest of a journalist.
- Spell the editor's
name incorrectly, or get it wrong altogether.
- Make these same
mistakes time and time again.

this is you, you need our help.
