"...a realignment of company focus"

[SithRose]

Is there a file format that is better to use to send this than .doc, that it won't get auto-filtered?

I'd suggest PDF.

Gimp exports to PDF files.

[Segev]

.pdf works! I'll use that.

Does anybody have the second of the two captioned images the OP created that they could put somewhere for me to grab? I didn't copy them to my HD earlier, and the one that has the B&S image with captions that finishes off the superhero one seems not to be working anymore.

edit: Never mind, found a way to get it to work.

The press release is now in .pdf format on my web space.

It's less than 600kB.

So, uh, is it too late to point out a typo...? >.>

For some reason, I'm thinking "swimsuit-model-esque" would be the better spelling.

I'm glad to have something so presentable, though! If you're happy with it, maybe we can shop it around and see if someone picks it up.

[Segev]

Change made, same link as before.

Please do shop it around! I am going afk for a few hours; if anybody at all wants to try sending it to people and media outlets, please feel free to do so! This is created for exactly that purpose. My one request is that anywhere you do send it, you give a link in the media contact methods google doc so I can follow it up with the media day invitation when I get that equally polished. Hopefully be no later than tomorrow!

One last change, this one to the title. It's now "NCSoft Realignment: From Families of Heroes to Friedrick's of Hollywood."

Anybody have a good idea where to send this? If not, I'll work on it tonight.

Frederick's.

Typo again!

I hate to say it--in part because I know it's politically charged to so much as mention--but Fox News has been known to run blurbs on perceived salaciousness in video games. Someone else mentioned HuffPo, at the other end of the political spectrum.

You can link to my article to give them a "we're missing out on a scoop" angle if you wish.

I've been amused at the number of unicorns commenting on my piece too.

[Atlantea]

Excuse me - could someone explain to me what you mean by "Unicorns"?  Do you mean trolls?

This is a new usage of the word Unicorn I've not heard before about a week back. How did it come to be used? (I can take my answers in PM to avoid derailing the thread)

[TimtheEnchanter]

Unicorns is a word that this forum uses. Whenever one makes a reference to a gangly green creature that typically lives under bridges and charges tolls for crossing, the word gets changed to Unicorn.

O_o  o... kay...?

Why the change?  If there's a joke here, I must be too dense to get it.

I don't think anyone knows the answer to that besides TonyV. It gives me a chuckle every time I see it though.

There's nothing wrong with listing politically biased news sites - you'll not find any that SOMEBODY won't find biased.

I've added a paragraph referencing your article, and changed the link a little. Please find it here now.

I also added myself as the callback contact. If somebody else would like to be, let me know and I'll change it.

I sent a blurb to HuffPo with some links. If anyone can find a "submit a tip" link on Fox News' website, you're a better fox than I am.

I've got a few links for this listed on this google doc.

I knew it would only take a matter of minutes for the internet to showcase my incompetence. >.> So, have you sent Fox News your press release as a tip yet? It'd be a great start for a click-grabbing story by itself, with very little addition needed.

[Segev]

I haven't. I've sent one to MSNBC. I will wait to let you do it if you like, or I can do it myself.

You're probably better at this than I am--it sounds like you have firsthand experience with this sort of thing already.

[Segev]

This is the first time I've ever done anything like this ,but I'll keep at it and gain that first-hand experience.

I'm going to need it; I'm hoping to pull off that media day event, so I need to get THAT press release written after this one. And sent out. Tomorrow night.
