PR embargo rule #2: don't send an embargo to a report you've never spoken with before. No way to know if he/she will follow said embargo.

So you're saying journalists only follow embargos from PRs they know? If it's embargoed, why does that matter?
-
An "embargo" is an agreement. Something cannot just ~be~ embargoed. If we have no relationship, and you send me something, I can share it.
-
If I had the embargo & a journo didn't respect it, they would NEVER get info from me or my clients in the future, assuming it was agreed to.
-
Of course but that doesn't mean PRs shouldn't ever send an embargoed release to a journalist they don't know.
-
Oh, you're in the UK. You all have wild press laws & I have no clue what the norms are there. It's just laziness here; ppl shouldn't do it.
-
"Wild press laws" eh?! Nope. It's respect.
-
I was trying to de-escalate. Yes, UK has wild press laws compared to the US, so I have no idea what norms you have there.

Oh I would publish that whole thing right now. And I've worked on both sides.
-
Honestly, it wasn't important enough to do so.
-
Yeah, I could imagine that it wasn't. My reaction to being told what to do is to do the opposite.
