If you send an unsolicited press release, will journalists consider it spam?

Most probably won’t. But there’s an interesting conversation about this topic at the Poynter Online blog.

Amy Gahran, who calls herself a conversational media consultant and content strategist, says she flags unsolicited press releases as spam. I commented and said I love getting bad pitches and unsolicited press releases because I often use them as examples here and in my eine, “The Publicity Hound’s Tips of the Week,” on what NOT to do. 

Take a look at what some of the other journalists have to say.
