Don't call us ...

Monkey is giddy with excitement about the launch of Wired UK, and almost orgasmic with anticipation over all the clever/trend-defining/really rather neon editorial we can expect from early next year. Imagine Monkey's delight when learning that any public relations minions hoping to personally lobby Wired's extremely busy editorial staff - led by David Rowan with his right-hand man, Ben Hammersley, had better think again. "The entire staff operate a very strict policy regarding pitches from both PRs and freelancers," Monkey read in today's Gorkana alert. "PRs can send pitches to Wired.PR@condenast.co.uk and journalists can send pitches to Wired.Editorial@condenast.co.uk, but no one is to call, and no one is to send emails to people's personal addresses. They're sorry to have to make these very strict rules, but will blacklist anyone who breaks them." Now play nicely with the other children.
