    Flacky nominee: PR pro sends a letter to the editor

    Texture Media is proud of its "award-winning interactive and marketing" — so interactive that the company can't figure out who to pitch to at a magazine.

    "We would like to verify your appropriate PR contact for the submission of relevant press releases," Texture Media rep Jessica Estes wrote to one business magazine's "letters to the editor" e-mail address. "If you could also identify the contact for potential article submissions, that would be most appreciated." The full release is after the jump.

    If a PR agency has asked your publication to do their job, send the story to tips@valleywag.com.
