If an acquisition or merger was happening and you couldn't get hold of the CEO, what would your next step be to get a story?
3 Answers↳
Wrong answer. Almost introduce yourself as a journalist. If you can't get the CEO, try to get the CFO or some other senior executive. You very well might have to go through the proper PR channels or even an investor relations person. While it is true that spokespeople sometimes run interference, often times they are very helpful. If you can't reach someone at the company, back up your story with public records and interviews with other industry sources. Less

Yes. Recycled belts, hiking boots. I also sleep with a down sleeping bag. PETA did not approve of my answers, so I couldn't even get into the next stage of interviews for a job I was very well qualified. Unfortunately, they are so extreme that it is difficult to support them, much less work with them. Less

Critic: People today place an especially high value on respect for others; yet in their comedy acts, many of todays most popular comedians display blatant disrespect for others. But when people fail to live up to the very ideals they hold in highest esteem, exaggeration of such failings often forms the basis of successful comedy. Thus the current popularity of comedians who display disrespect in their acts is hardly surprising. The critics argument depends on which of the one following assumptions?
