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.

And, as to your "respect" line, if you're a PR person trying to blast random journalists w an embargo, you've already disrespected me.

I have no relationship w/ you & you send me information — but also tell me you've preemptively & unilaterally placed limits on its use. BS.

That's not the way the world works. An embargo, just like whether something is off the record, is something done by agreement. Not one side.

Sometimes it is yes but disagree that it's always the case.

Chris, is the person who sent the release new to the field or are they seasoned?

Literally no one I know. It was a complete stranger.
