First of all, no the press release should not die. Leave print alone, change with the times just a little, and let technology take a backseat to pen, paper, and anything else considered sacred. Technology is overrated because it’s getting carried away. Enough. And digital reporting; seriously? That’s what makes me cringe, but I’m an old-fashioned, published author (Jaime Lindsay, Fiction).
