Guardian newspaper circulation around 120k a day. Yesterday the website got 45.8m page views, on a bank hol. Six years into this job, why am I still getting book PRs actively stopping online-only pieces or telling me they're 'disappointed' when something doesn't make print?
(Yes, I do find it pretty disrespectful when we do a lot of work, either as writers or editors, only to have a publicist sniff at our website like it is a forgotten MySpace blog! And yes, I know publishing does for the most part treat the internet like a newfangled doohickey!)
Anyway, good luck fighting for page space in those publications that you won't spend money to advertise in looooolđź‘ŹPRIORITIES
