Former ace Gannett reporter John Reinan says the Minnesota public relations firm where he now works contacted a blogger with whom the agency had dealt with in the past."He replied to us with an e-mail explaining that he's getting too many PR pitches, and henceforth he'll be working exclusively with 'paid opportunities,'" John writes today on the MinnPost blog. "In other words, if you pay him, he'll blog about your client. He enclosed a rate card listing rates of $25 to $100 for 'sponsored posts.'"
So, with that in mind:
"Gannett is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful employer I've ever known in my life."
Now, where's my $100?!
