Unfortunately, few marketers or p.r. people seem to read it, especially if they are relaying on media lists obtained from third parties. Media directories and list brokers could do both their clients and the targets of their pitches a favor by recognizing "How to Pitch Me" pages as a mutually beneficial best practice, and by including a dedicated (optional) field in their databases for a "How to Pitch me" URL distinct from, and in addition to, the general URL of the blog itself. (It would also be mutually beneficial, although less critical, to have a dedicated optional field for the URL of a disclosure and/or disclaimer page, to include such things as the policy for accepting freebies and the sponsorship and financial disclosures required in the USA by the FTC guidelines.) Media directories and list brokers could also include some of the principles in this bill of rights as conditions of their contracts with their customers. In particular, they could require that purchasers of their lists (1) identify the source of the list in all messages sent to addresses on the list, (2) include a valid reply address and opt-out link in all such messages, (3) delete listings on request of the data subject or if notified by the directory or list broker that the address should be removed, and (4) not contact a journalist or blogger supplying a "How to Pitch Me" URL without first reading that page and complying with its terms. It's the media directories and list brokers who really have the greatest power to set the norms and, to some degree, to enforce best practices through the terms of their contracts and their willingness to actually enforce complinace with those terms by their customers.

The latter tactics can only be executed successfully through one to one conversations after having carried out extensive research on the issue and the target publication. In that sense these tactics inherently mitigate the sort of mindless bad behaviour that press releases, by their very nature, entertain - not just on the part of PR people, but clients and journalists as well. So to summarise I believe we must be brave enough to counsel our clients against relying on the press release as a tool for achieving most PR objectives. I think that my good colleagues is the more Inconvenient Truth.
