If more publishers can be convinced that our readers no longer use us to find press releases, we may have to fill our publications with more substantial work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278569290198583553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9554091.post-1149742265815271212006-06-08T00:51:00.000-04:002006-06-08T00:51:00.000-04:00There is also a quite positive site in these findi...There is also a quite positive site in these findings:<BR/><BR/>Most B2B Journalists spend 80 plus percent of their times to 'rewrite' press releases or/and work on company initiated subjects. <BR/><BR/>If B2B media can accept the fact that this news (via press release) are accessible to anyone through the net, the have (close to) 80 percent of their time to do something beneficial and inspiring hemartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09627283487656124629noreply@blogger.com
