- foobarqux 12y agoPress releases are public-relations/marketing/propaganda, the opposite of factual.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoI think you are describing the difference between 'should' and 'are'.
- Argorak 12y agoNo. Press releases always had to goal to pre-write things for journalists and - in the best case - not do too much fact-checking. They are a PR invention and never had the goal to be too rooted in reality.
