We All Play in the Same Sandbox
Early on in my career,
much like everyone else in PR, one of the things that I was called to do was get some editorial calendars together. This was right around 1996 and 1997, and since these kinds of things weren’t online just yet, I had to talk to the editorial assistant to get that information.
Even though this was a very timely task (especially since these were faxed back, providing the additional chore to make sure that these faxes came though clearly enough and, if so, enter in all of the data), I actually liked doing it.
At that time, I wasn’t really allowed to speak with anyone from the press; so, conversing with a “fellow grunt in the field” was great for me.
I saw it as a way to speak with someone at TIME Magazine, ComputerWorld or Forbes…!
Turns out, I was right.
