George Simpson, an independent New York public relations practitioner who has moved a 20-year-old PR business almost entirely away from serving print publishers to working with news Web sites, says the environment has gotten very challenging.

Simpson does not believe in "papering the world" with press releases, but rather "waiting till you have something important to say" and targeting individual reporters who you know will be interested in the story you have to tell.
