For the sake of integrity, keep the PR meisters at bay
I clicked on this simply to find out how integrity and PR got in
the same sentence. Then I found myself hooked by a piece
that was simply interesting - and I think honest - journalism (another
two words not often placed together these days) about an area that
it would be a lie to say does not interest me, but is quite low on my
order of the day. So I took it for what it was.
And then, there at the end was something that was grist to my
churning mill: the environment. My website is more than a tad 'green'.
So I have pondered the question your student has posed via you,
and my answer is, 'I don't know but would be happy to discuss.'
Just like Kate Silverton being air-flown - with or without crew... and
entourage? - to the Oscars by a cash-strapped and newly eco-aware
BBC, it is the media's role to entertain and her 'job', but they do have
on-site correspondents, no?
So I am erring on yes, it would benefit me, and the story, plus planet
if it were found and not supplied via a jolly.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
