Did Anyone Get One of the Pampered Chef Press Releases in Their Local Paper?

Just curious whether anybody actually got one of the Pampered Chef press releases in their local paper.

Those who know what I do for a living will understand my interest in this.

For the record, I've never done a press release, would consider it a conflict of interest to do so, and can't see my employer publishing these any time soon, especially given our current space constraints.

I emailed it to our local paper and was not even acknowledged. I figure after they screwed up a press release we did for a KITK last June (2008) so badly, they won't do this. I am tempted to take it by in person though. You don't think a newspaper would actually print it?

Hey there! I can't say for sure about others, but I actually did see a Pampered Chef press release in my local paper last week. I remember because I was surprised to see it - I didn't even know Pampered Chef did press releases! I can understand your interest, especially if it relates to your line of work. Do you think press releases are effective for promoting a company or product? And I totally understand your concerns about potential conflicts of interest with your employer. It's always important to maintain integrity in our professional roles.
