@mcallguild @ssigafoos It’s about time newsroom leadership started to realize journalists are people too!

[Laurie Monteforte @lmonteforte]

@CourtReagan Me too!

@RaeganMedgie You’re so close to the finish line!

It’s far more beneficial to invest in actual PR than pay for sleezy ego-stroking advertorials.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Today a magazine offered me a spot as one of their "Top 10 Finest CEOs of 2021." It features a two-page article with reprint rights.

... if I pay them $1,000.

Be careful of any professional showing a "best of" magazine cover in their office. Chances are they paid for it.

When Kurt and Chloe wanted to share their story nationally, I was happy to lend a hand.

Thanks @alexandrazucc and @ffweekend for the coverage.

@michaelrubinkam Oh! I just saw you already wrote about schools doing that.

[Laurie Monteforte @lmonteforte]

@michaelrubinkam My son’s school district hands out blanket exemption forms. You can even print them from the school website. They’ve never mentioned needing a doctor’s note at all.

Message from an admin at one of the jschools mentioned in the WSJ story: Can you send me the story text? I can't get past the paywall.

Sigh.
