Done. I still think it's spamming. Submissions to major newspapers are not done by sending out an email to multiple recipients. This guy at the Star Tribune knew he was on a list, so he correctly identified it as spam and asked you to stop.
You are simply wrong.
Nope
Newspapers receive many if not most of their press releases and other submissions via E-mail. Many of these are bulk e-mail lists, but not spam since they go to a carefully targeted group of editors and reporters.
Our paper gets press releases, stories and photos via e-mail on a daily basis.
Mr. Boyd can certainly ask her to stop sending in submissions, but she has a perfect right complain about it as well.
