Journalist publishes list of ‘useless’ British PRs

Filed Under Firms, PR Disasters, Public Relations, Public Relations practice 

A UK freelance journalist, Kevin Braddock, published (then hastily deleted) a list (along with e-mail addresses) on his blog of the most useless, incompetent PR people he had dealings with during 2009. The list is/was several hundreds long and included someone from virtually every firm in the business. Fearful of lawsuits, Kev deleted the post. The Times says it’s easily found on Twitter, but I (and a few others) couldnt unearth it; any pointers??

    I find this interesting that journalists feel free to do such things. What about useless journalists that don’t get information right, NEVER respond no matter how targeted the pitch is, or frankly write useless stories. Shall we make a list?

    Thanks much Joss; what I find interesting is that the “big PR firms” are UNDER-REPRESENTED in his list, which is somewhat a feather in their cap…quite a few inhousers named tho. And yep PR fan, if only publicity PRs werent so scared of offsiding the media brotherhood, a list of self-serving, rude and entitlement-junkie journos would be a hoot.
