When Corporate PR people become control freaks and try to dictate the news on climate issues nationwide

Dear Sir,
What is the name of the [NAME OF WEST COAST NEWSPAPER REDACTED HERE FOR PRIVACY REASONS] reporter whom you contacted?​ We will not welcome any [NAME OF WEST COAST NEWSPAPER REDACTED HERE FOR PRIVACY REASONS] reporter
whom we have not communicated with directly. Do not contact the [NAME OF WEST COAST NEWSPAPER REDACTED HERE FOR PRIVACY REASONS] again on behalf of [NAME OF WEST COAST LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE REDACTED HERE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS] or steer reporters in our direction in the future, even if you think you have an important news tip to pass on to them. We contol the news, and we control our news feeds. That's what they hired me for. Capish?

Thank you,

Acting Director of Media Comm PR Relations
[NAME OF WEST COAST COLLEGE REDACTED HERE FOR PRIVACY REASONS]
