“Journos are chained to their desks these days…”
“They do everything via email and Twitter…”
Yes, yes, but as a tech PR old hand I’m glad to see that they still enjoy a darn good night out and a fizzy beverage, as last week’s annual CA UK media reception proved. We never cease to be amazed at the lengths some journalists will go to for a free drink. Jess Twentyman even flew over from Portugal (well, sort of).
So while we’re all embracing the online world it’s great to see some face to face networking going on, even though by the end of the night most sentences seemed to be restricted to 140 characters anyway….there was certainly plenty of ‘lol’ going on..…”worth the £50 cab home,” was one bleary eyed-comment the morning after….
Just goes to show that putting a name and drink preference to a face is still important in technology pr, which, has to be said, is probably our favourite perk of the job.

Not quite 140 characters, but lots of lol!
