I love this open letter from Shel Holtz to Robert Scoble. The gist of the letter is here:
Given your intractable position repeated in multiple places, Robert, I wonder if you'd be willing to comment on the findings of the 2009 PRWeek/PR Newswire media survey that found that 80% of journalists prefer to receive pitches by email. Journalists maintain this preference even though these pitches generate a paltry number of actual stories because they are so often off-target. That's right, Robert. An overwhelming majority of journalists want to get pitched by email.
I have two words for this guy: spam filters.
