As someone who is both a journalist and travel and lifestyle PR, should journalists be slating PRs/press releases they have been emailed, albeit anonymously. I see a lot of people doing it on Twitter. Just be nice and ignore. You never know when you might need that PR...
Travel writers, I look after the press for ToWander UK, a curated collection of unique and stylish places to stay. Think houseboats, treehouses, cottages, cabins, even a converted horse truck. I can help with stories/press trips:
