I get press release via email. Send a quick question. No reply. No story. This happens frequently. If you can't follow up, why should I write it?

Know where your key influencers are currently working.
Use the comments field and discussion forums to add your client's POV to an article about your competitor. Really, it is ok. We all like to see more comments, esp. thoughtful ones.
