@KurtWagner8 Speaking as a PR person…. That ain’t gonna go well in all kinds of ways. We aren’t just the ones who make and take calls from journalists. Often, we are the ones screaming at upper management to tell them that things are a very bad idea, because nobody else will tell them that.

After 18 months and 742 stories, today is my last day with @nypostbiz. Starting next week I'll be covering Amazon for @theinformation, still out of NYC.

If you watch a lot of plot-driven TV, listen in dialogs for the question, "Why are you telling me this?" You'll be amazed how often you hear it. It's a storytelling device to clarify a plot complexity without resorting to a narrator.

Hey folks #somepersonalnews ... After 12 incredible years @TechCrunch, I'm joining @betaworks as a partner starting next week.

Why would a journalist cover a survey? Often, it's when the survey addresses whether something is catching on. https://t.co/8ekVqAg9ly

@Kantrowitz @elonmusk Hi Alex... IMHO his penchant for floating ideas and then changing them, or posting/deleting, assures him of ongoing attention, on his new Twitter plaything as well as in media brands. This is agenda-setting, important for what it boxes out. Also IMHO he learned this from TFG.

I've received any number of email pitches that begin with someone else's name, or something like "Dear [INSERT NAME]". But today I got this, which is a first: "Hi Not Provided,"
