It's pretty unwieldly to keep a list of people to notify when a given article runs, though—particularly given that my clients don't always notify *me* when a story posts. I've gotten into the habit of asking that such people subscribe to my Twitter feed, where they'll be notified when I have stories post. I'd love to hear feedback on that option. I consider it common courtesy, at the very minimum, to give any quoted sources the benefit of a personal e-mail containing a link when the story posts, and I apologize on behalf of the profession for those who neglect to do so. That's just reeeeewwwwwd. As far as authors who quote experts or use their anecdotes without giving full credit, I believe the term for them was noted earlier: They are asshats. A thousand thanks for Peter Shankman and all you PR pros who make my life so much easier with your responses. If I don't get back to you all to thank you for chiming in, my sincere apologies. Please know that it's because the service works well enough to blissfully swamp me, but I am blessing you silently and you will assuredly be rewarded in PR heaven.
