(Fill in the blank however you want: "brave soul" or "a-hole.")<BR/><BR/>Further, it was subsequently revealed that the ubiquitous PR dbase, Cision, was to blame. Cision claims to offer a scrupulously-researched dbase of media contact info, which is supposedly scrubbed by, in part, asking the media contact how they prefer to be contacted. In Trapani's case, the system borked us all.<BR/><BR/>But the issueof your post is my public display of crow-eating, right? If I had to do it all over again, would I publicly apologize (and take the fall for my fellow blacklistees)?<BR/><BR/>Yes. Cuz you gotta take the bad with the good.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05541192214990930561noreply@blogger.com
