TechCrunch Calls Aol. PR Clueless

TechCrunch reporter Erick Schonfeld is not happy. He has a scoop last week that Aol chief technology officer Ted Cahall was about to leave the company. He tried to confirm this with Aol PR, who denied the move.

“No, he is not leaving,” Aol executive vice president of communications Tricia Primrose Wallace [pictured] told him at the time. Of course, this week, the company did a one-eighty and announced Cahall’s departure.

Schonfeld is annoyed because Aol PR fed him incorrect information.
