Wow so many I didn’t realised. Glad to see that both sides are speaking and having a nice debate.
Palin Ningthoujam’s last blog post..A PR industry crisis and a lovely weekend
Wow, that took a lot of work. Nice resource. Appreciate you including me.
Jason Falls’s last blog post..Are Media Database Companies Complicit In PR Spamming?
great round up post, thanks for including my blog in your list.
Great collection of the conversation! Here’s hoping that it does some good at the end of the day.

Kyle’s last blog post..Ugly
Thanks so much for including me on your list. The first part will definitely be useful as that conversation will bound to get even more lively.
Csalomonlee’s last blog post..Spotty Blogging for Next Few Days?
Nice capture of links. It’s an interesting argument and one that will continue because there’s really no right or wrong answers. Reporters DON’T have to reply to pitches. PR Hacks DON’T have to personalize stuff and can use the blast fax technique. Like I said in my post, just all need to get along and play nicely in the sandbox.
Nice to see a bunch of the recent posts listed together with some of the early volleys on this subject.
Eric Eggertson’s last blog post..Donahue on Iraq: We’re to Blame
A great resource Meryl. Thanks for compiling this list.
I’ve stumbled this post and will be referring back to it.
Yvonne Russell (Grow Your Writing Business)’s last blog post..Keep The Noise Down - Looking For A Quiet Space In A Web 2.0 World
MERYL! Every time I get an idea for a new article you beat me to it. QUIT BEING S GOOD –However, I challenge you to find a social media news release with more photos and videos than this one — http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=828759&k=cincom
I was riffing big time (some might think whiffing?)
Or … the World’s First Multimedia Release by an Octobenarian

HAHAhA
best Meryl
I had no idea that it has gone so far. I’m impressed you were able to round up so many of them. Thanks for including my on the list.
