    ATTN PR folks: DO NOT DO THIS, particularly to people you've never spoken with previously. You cannot unilaterally create an embargo. You are failing at your job — and failing your clients — if you do this.pic.twitter.com/mGRTAboJP7

        "Strict embargo" is PR's "strenuously object"

        Also, who blasts CONFIDENTIAL news "under embargo" to strangers 12 days in advance?

        @jembradshaw I rather like the phrase “strict embargo” - as if you can have a “fairly strict embargo” or even a “it’s embargoed for the moment but I can be a bit flexible nearer the time if the whole thing get leaked by me accidentally sending out loads of emails embargo”

        We could have embargo roulette - one in six journalists gets to release the news right now, the other five must wait

        Cracking idea - and we record the subsequent phone-calls, and put them all on iPlayer so we can monetize them and retire asap !!!!!

        Isn’t this PR speak for “if you report it before <date-time> report it as leak, we guarantee we won’t confirm or comment?
