Meanwhile, the embargo is simply asking the journalists/editors to reciprocate that courtesy by not putting the story out so early that the buzz has died down by the time the film/record/event is actually out for the public.<br /><br />What's new here, and is relevant to this blog, is the inclusion of twitter, facebook, and blogs in the specific embargo language.Ken Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352088132228110064noreply@blogger.com
