Day: June 4, 2003

In an interesting ruling, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan noted “that the attorney-client privilege usually extends to consultants” and in this case to a Public Relations consultant in front of a grand jury.

Steve Jones from PAN Communications was in touch on behalf of MediaMap to let us all know that MediaMap is adding weblogs to their media database. [Here’s the announcement].

MediaMap should be applauded for this move as blogs become an increasingly important outlet for PR practitioners.

Michael O’Connor Clarke questions whether it’s sufficient that the directory will only include ‘accredited’ journalists. Michael definetely has a point (maybe there’s a new business idea there for someone), though I think MediaMap’s move is in the right direction.
