We get a lot of press releases sent our way during the course of a week. No surprise, since a newspaper office is still a place where people turn to get their message out.  Even with the rise of social media, the flow of press releases continues unabated.  Most of them received here will never see a drop of ink in print in our pages, for a number of reasons.  They’re not for anything local, they’re a shameless attempt to pass off advertising as news, or they just aren’t interesting enough.
