Comments on: Greenbang: We’re all about news, not nonsense http://www.greenbang.com/greenbang-were-all-about-news-not-nonsense_12166.html Sustainable Energy Insight Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:18:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Max Tatton-Brown http://www.greenbang.com/greenbang-were-all-about-news-not-nonsense_12166.html/comment-page-1#comment-9477 Max Tatton-Brown Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:59:13 +0000 http://www.greenbang.com/?p=12166#comment-9477 Some really good points here that any decent PR should have taken on board already. However I can't help but disagree with one: No embargoes. Isn't it helpful for us to let you know the news ahead of an announcement so that you can find a convenient time to write it up? And won't this also help raise the quality of journalism by easing the pressure and allowing you to read around the topic or find the appropriate angle? Just a couple of immediate thoughts but otherwise I think you're right to aspire for Greenbang to be at the level of The Economist/ Wired. It's admirable to set so high a standard.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9477','Max Tatton-Brown'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9477','Max Tatton-Brown','Some really good points here that any decent PR should have taken on board already.

Isn’t it helpful for us to let you know the news ahead of an announcement so that you can find a convenient time to write it up?

And won’t this also help raise the quality of journalism by easing the pressure and allowing you to read around the topic or find the appropriate angle?

Just a couple of immediate thoughts but otherwise I think you’re right to aspire for Greenbang to be at the level of The Economist/ Wired. It’s admirable to set so high a standard.
