Madeline Millard certainly encountered a group of rude and poorly trained PR personnel who certainly did miss the messages you were trying to convey, or information you were trying to get. I feel that is the neglect of finding the service oriented persons for those positions. You are absolutely correct in your assessment that the station would likely lose first time potential donations or repeat donors. Bad business practices such as these will take the station off the air if it is repeated often enough. Why not apply for the position? I think you know what is expected of the person in that type of position. Or send them the posts from the replies to your comments. See if things will change. Jane Pierce
