@karenswim Thank you, Karen! At the end of the day, we are all just people…and we need to relate to each other as such…no matter what our jobs are…

Elissa, such a great post with solid, practical advice. What came through so clearly is respect. We all have our jobs to do and if we approach people from a place of respect we can diffuse animosity and at the very least operate from a place of mutual respect.

@AmyMccTobin Thank you! As there will be other people in the room (editors/reporters) make sure you prepare a deck of the points you want to get across.. Also make sure you or your spokesperson is well prepped for Q and A after…

I finally got to this post, and what great advice it is. I’ve been dealing with a specifically prickly and intelligent reporter for a powerful publication. Nothing has worked, and I think the editorial board is a great suggestion.

@Facetime61 Great points! Often a reporters’ bark is worse than their bite (which is hardly as clever as your Aesop’s Fable analogy!); but as long as PR pros work with integrity in answering their inquiry. a relationship of mutual respect can be built.

Sometimes a simple conversation one on one can do wonders for a relationship.
