It can be a PR person’s worst nightmare. You email a reporter or blogger, somehow thinking the conversation is off the record, only to find, “Company spokesperson John Smith said – insert damaging quote here” in an big story the next day.
These days, it seems everything is on the record.
Have you considered adding something like this to your e-mail signature?
“this email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private”
I’ve seen this on more and more e-mails lately, and it makes sense to me.
