Why, so they can put out a limply worded two sentence denial for every news outlet in the country to dunk on? Bad press happens. I'm sure journalists love it when companies engage directly with them but I'm not sure that it results in more favorable coverage on average. They still have a blog and a Twitter account. If they want to make statements they can tell the public directly instead of favoring specific journalists with private communications.

Who is going to do that when you get rid of the PR department? I mean sure, someone can do it, but then they are doing PR work on top of whatever other work is on their plate.

  Clearly someone is doing it because they continue to make tweets and occasional blog posts. I don't see a problem.

    Other comments indicate that the PR department became the external relations department.
