> No, journalists will probably not do that. What do journalists do anyway? I mean there has to be a reason why they call themselves 'journalists' and not just 'bloggers'. I always assumed journalism would somehow include a little bit of research but ... nada. From my experience with the online "press" I just can assume that all those online journalist do not deserve that label. Whenever I'm preparing a press kit I feel like I would be doing all the journalist's work and they only need (and most presumably will) take my copy 1:1, smack some Adsense on and republish it. I have not much experience with print media so I don't know if the print journalists, too, are such a lazy bunch but online it's ridiculous.
