455,000 emails. That’s conservatively about 250 emails a day, 5 days a week, that I received during the 7 years I spent running a TV news assignment desk in my pre-publicist life. That’s a lot of “great opportunities” and “timely story ideas” to sift through. I get bleary-eyed just thinking about it. If I had to guess, I’d estimate about 75% of those emails were pitches from publicists or PR representatives, and less than 1% I’d take the time to respond to.
