Which is not fair and leads to a bunch of time-wasting finger-pointing on both sides. There are other side effects to the presumptive NDA, too, none of them good.

It’s a much better bet to communicate with the writer before you send them the NDA’d info.

Also, to be clear, I am not a fan of signed NDAs. Don’t really do them anymore, in fact. I honor a lot of handshake deals, though.

Is this to be a hard-ass or what? Some one takes the chance you might be interested, so you’re not, so you Out them. How sweet of you. Sorry, I don’t mean to be sarcastic, but this is an assured way to develop the rep as a… well, someone to avoid. Surely, we don’t need a signed NDA. What has the world come to? Isn’t there just an acceptable sense of decorum and politeness left in PR or anywhere in business? — jeffrey http://www.radiowalker.com

I get the use of embargos, I’ve used them several times and appreciate the media that have agreed to them–in writing–before I send any information a reporters way.

It says ‘pro’ PR tips at the top. But the advice is amateur. And unnecessarily aggressive. Written by a journalist who doesn’t get many exclusives maybe.

So one selfish act precludes you from say several hundred information sources… the choice is yours…
