My final question again relates to page 5 and I want to put a quote which Mr. Browne partially referenced earlier in another answer. He notes that PR officers have, "The capacity to give and withhold the information that hard-pressed journalists require in order to do their work gives them an inevitable influence over content, to the benefit of their state and corporate clients." Does Mr. Browne think that that power ever works in reverse in the sense that PR persons are reliant on the journalist to get their particular point of view across in a publication or in broadcast media?
