I can't even being to guess how you come to this conclusion, and the word "meritocratic" is, quite frankly, offensive.

  and the word "meritocratic" is, quite frankly, offensive. That sort of off-the-hip response leaves nowhere to go with a civil and rational discussion. Bravo.

    Actually that's my point. I can't begin to grasp (though I welcome input) how your comment helps. Perhaps I spent too much time in essentially what is an anti-meritocracy that is PR in the valley. Unless of course, by "meritocracy" you mean hot women and open bars.

      I think we might have a different benchmark of meritocracy in this situation. I suspect you're thinking along the lines of coverage and interest being based on how good a company and its ideas are? My idea of PR being more meritocratic than it once was is based on that it's now more easily possible to do your own PR and to get results based on your efforts. The more effort you put into your PR, the better the results. PR being no different to other disciplines (sales, marketing, development) in this case.

        I think I'm just more impatient. "More meritocratic" is probably true, but imho, it's a long way from ideal.
