Some things just make me want to cry...

Ok, let me start out by saying that I'm not a huge fan of press releases and of using newswires to disseminate them (email is the way to go, as far as I'm concerned).

In addition, I think that the fact that so many press releases are news-less is one of the main reasons why they're not being picked up the way they were twelve years ago, when I started out in this business.

This is a perfect example of both problems. The story is bereft of news value and a newswire is used. If this story is picked up anywhere, I just might cry.
