Back in October, when早在10月，當 PRWeek prweek drooled over drooled超過 Burson Marsteller博雅公關公司 for instituting a new PR campaign for為建立一個新的公關活動，為 Countrywide Financial全國財政 to help them out of the financial trouble they were in, we asked whether the campaign was a waste of time and money.幫助他們走出金融麻煩，他們在，我們詢問，運動是浪費時間和金錢。
Well, turns out we were right.那麼，原來我們是正確的。 Our prediction (10/13/07) that Bank of America would take over Countrywide Financial was spot on.我們的預測（ 10/13/07 ）表示，美國銀行將接管全國財政是現貨對。 Granted we were slightly off on the date, we said it would happen within the year.給予我們稍微對小康之日起，我們表示，它將發生在今年。
Now what I want to know is this: How could PRWeek have run such a glowing story without taking the economy into account?現在我想知道是這樣的：如何能prweek已運行這樣一個光輝的故事，而不考慮經濟陷入帳戶？ Your head would have had to be buried deeply in the sand to not comprehend what effect the economy was having on the mortgage industry and homeowners.在你的頭上，將不得不被掩埋在深深沙子，不理解什麼影響，當時的經濟有對按揭業和業主。
Instead of acting as a cheerleader, I would expect the reporter and his or her editor to take a step back during the reporting process and ask themselves a simple question.而不是代理作為一個啦啦隊長，我會期望，記者和他或她的編輯採取退後一步，在報告的過程中和問問自己，一個簡單的問題。 What happens if?如果發生什麼事？ Surely any battle worthy reporter/editor would have raised this question.當然，任何的戰鬥，值得記者/編輯會提出這個問題。 Or am I being too naïve?還是我過於天真？
Either way, I’m not surprised we made the right call.無論採用哪種方式，我一點都不覺得奇怪，我們作出了正確的呼籲。 Effective PR practitioners can always tie their client’s stories into local, national and world events no matter what industry the client represents.有效的公關從業人員可以隨時配合其客戶的故事，到地方，國家和世界大事，不管什麼行業的客戶代表。 But I also can’t help but feel sorry for PRWeek .但我也不能幫助，但感到遺憾prweek 。 After all, it’sa lot harder for a publication to ask tough questions of interviewees when they’re leading the cheers and the interviewee is one of your largest advertisers.畢竟，這是很多努力，為出版要求的棘手問題的受訪者時，他們領導的歡呼聲和被採訪者是您的其中一個最大的廣告客戶。

When confronted with a brand new calendar, everyone’s natural inclination is to ponder what the next year will bring.當面對一個嶄新的日曆，每個人的自然傾向是要思考如何在未來一年會帶來。 This has resulted in the festive tradition of making predictions about what changes will occur over the next 12 months in whatever field you have some expertise.這就造成了節日的傳統，作出預測，什麼樣的變化將發生在未來12個月，無論在外地，你有一些專業知識。

4. 4 。 Throughout 2008 and into the foreseeable future, press releases will continue to be written in the same format, since we all know that the PR Gods will strike you dead if “XXX company, a leading provider of XXX,” does not appear in the first two sentences of the release.在整個2008年和到可預見的將來，新聞發布將繼續以書面在相同的格式，因為大家都知道，公關神將罷工，如果你死的“ XXX公司，這是一家領先供應商的第XXX號”沒有出現在第一兩句話的釋放。
5. 5 。 Agencies will continue to send out self-promoting press releases that no one wants to read in 2008, regurgitating the same reasons why their newest client hired them.機構將繼續向自我促進新聞稿指出，沒有人想讀在2008年， regurgitating以同樣的理由，為什麼他們最新的客戶端僱用他們。 BTW, has anyone ever seen an agency send out a press release saying why they have been fired by a client?的BTW ，有沒有人見過的一個機構發出的一份新聞稿說，為什麼他們已發射了由客戶？ Isn’t that newsworthy?是不是新聞？ Inquiring minds want to know!探究心中想知道！

10. 10 。 Clients will continue to judge agencies by the number of clips they generated instead of against the original submitted proposal that outlined objectives, goals, team and deliverables.客戶將繼續來判斷機構的人數，通過剪輯，他們所產生的，而是對原提交的建議，概述的宗旨，目標，團隊和交付。

While we’ll all be working together editorially regardless of delivery platform, we’ll continue to sweat the production details that enable us to create both a topflight magazine and a first-rate Web site.同時，我們將所有的工作，共同編輯，不論交付平台，我們將繼續以汗水生產的細節，使我們能夠創造既是一個topflight雜誌和一流的網站。 Recognizing the special skills required to excel in these two very different media, I am appointing Ciro Scotti as managing editor of the magazine and Martin Keohan as managing editor of the Web site to ensure that we preserve the highest possible quality as we produce each product – and that we meet our various deadlines.認識到特別需要的技能Excel在這兩個非常不同的媒體，我任用ciro scotti管理雜誌的編輯和馬丁keohan作為總編輯的網站，以確保我們保留盡可能高的質量作為我們生產的每個產品-和我們滿足我們的各種期限。
Ciro joined BusinessWeek in 1978, after reporting stints at daily newspapers. ciro加入商業周刊在1978年報告情況後，還曾在每天的報紙。 Since 2005, he has been an assistant managing editor, deftly overseeing production of the magazine, writing the very best cover headlines, and casting a sharp editorial eye over all our copy.自2005年以來，他一直是一位助理總編輯， deftly監督生產的該雜誌，寫的非常的最佳封面的頭條新聞，和鑄造了鮮明的社論眼睛超過我們所有的副本。 Previously, he was a senior editor, responsible for the copy desk and for government and sports-business coverage.以前，他是一位資深編輯，負責複製服務台和政府及體育業務範圍廣泛。 Ciro will continue to report to Ellen Pollock. ciro將繼續向執行局報告愛倫波洛克。

Unfortunately, in connection with the reorganization, a small number of our editorial colleagues will be leaving BusinessWeek.不幸的是，他涉嫌與重組，一個小的數目我們的編輯的同事將要離開商業周刊。 It’s exceedingly difficult to part with valued co-workers, and decisions to eliminate positions aren’t made lightly.它的極其困難的一部分，與價值的合作工人，和決定，以消除立場沒有作出掉以輕心。 I want to thank those who are leaving for all their good work and wish them well in new endeavors.我要感謝那些誰離開他們所有的良好的工作，並祝愿他們，以及在新的事業。
Despite the challenges of the past few years, our journalism has been extraordinarily strong, and both readers and online users clearly have taken notice.儘管挑戰，過去幾年，我們的新聞工作一直非常強烈，雙方在讀者和網上用戶顯然已採取恕不另行通知。

(Notice the memo doesn’t mention that advertisers are cutting back on spending money in BW. It’s one of the reasons why the magazine has to make these cuts.) （請注意，這份備忘錄並沒有提及廣告客戶削減對大灑金錢，在體重，它的其中一個原因，該雜誌已使這些削減） 。
