Truth in public relations
Jay Nordlinger, National Review
. . . let me quote from a press release I received by e-mail. I was moving quickly to delete it as is my custom but something caught my eye. I read,
Wesley Chinn, General Manager and Artistic Director of the new company, says of its inaugural production, I cant actually pretend to quote myself in a release Im writing myself just to satisfy the conventions of press-release style.
That prompted me, for now, not to block this sender from my inbox . . .
