Big Up PR

I have begun writing my first feature for my specialist motoring module. As a result, I have been trying to get in contact with the PR departments of certain motoring companies. I thought that I would be trying in vain. It seemed hard to find any relevant contacts and I am, after all, only a student. However, I was wrong.

A lady from GM got back to me and said that my request wasn't really in her field so she referred it to two colleagues who also got back to me and offered me some answers to my questions and their phone numbers. This all happened in the course of one day.

A lot of times journalists and PR people are at odds. What a delight to see that we can work in harmony. Cheers guys!
