There's a lot of value for PR folks to have their own blogs, because once you start getting bad pitches, you really value the time and effort of putting a good pitch together. Also big kudos to Beth Brody for putting up her own blog, admitting her mistake and committing to improvement. Very well done!

My experience has always been that a targeted pitch to an individual has a much better result than mass pitches to a broad list of prospective outlets.

Hopefully they will start to die out over the next couple of years. Atleast the majority of people are starting to distinguish between real and spam emails.

To me, this speaks that more people are becoming aware and are able to distinguish these spammy pitches from something that might be worth reading about.
