As we are the largest sailing news source in the world, we get literally thousands of media releases each month from events, clubs and classes keen to reach our 220,000 readers. When events, clubs and organisations send out media releases, it’s presumably because they want media publications to use their content... But gosh some of them make it hard. The quality of the material is to say the least variable, a lot of it is very good, some brilliant, some with English as a fourth language and in between we have to deal with content delivered in a whole slew of different ways. We realise that if we don’t give feedback on what we are receiving, it won’t get better so rather than just hitting the delete button, and we are explaining the do´s and don’ts. Here is the skinny on another Don´t. Why annoy Media, if you want their help? Today we explain just why it’s important NOT to use PDF's for Electronic Press Releases. by Rob Kothe - 7:48 PM Tue 5 Mar 2013 GMT Click here for printer friendly version Click here to send us feedback or comments about this story.
