About press releases on Google News, there's been a bunch of comment on this recently. I've been asked to comment. Press releases are okay if they are clearly labeled as such. It's predictable that professional reporters would object to this practice, but they have a conflict of interest, which they don't disclose. The maker-of-news has a valuable perspective. That's the thesis of weblogs. Most press releases aren't worth reading. But they don't have to be. They could be more enlightening and accurate than the supposedly disinterested reports by pros.
