The Fear, the Fear

Seafood.com and myself often are quoted in various news articles about the Seafood industry. I get many calls from reporters working on Seafood stories, and sometimes end up being quoted in their articles.

I have always been amused to see that our competitor Intrafish is afraid to include any of these quotes or references. Like in Harry Potter, they cannot publish the name of "you know who", even when it is part of one of their stories.

I came across an example this morning in the Canadian Press story on the seafood industry dismissing the impact of the Humane Society Seal Boycott. It ran both in Intrafish and Seafood.com.

Take a look for yourself, comparing the two highlighted areas. Click on the image to read larger text.

First: Intrafish

Now the full story from Seafood.com:

See the difference in the highlighted areas. Apparently even my name, much less that of Seafood.com, is too much for our competition. My message is don't worry. I am not Voldemort. I am happy to include references to Intrafish in our wire service stories, if they will include the references to me and seafood.com. All our readers are better served by getting the whole story.

News fun on a slow summer day.

Good afternoon. I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: Learn about the stock market. I found only this - understanding stock market charts. However, admitting defeat and accepting a loss is hard for many beginners. Yet over the same timeframe, the underlying investment the sp index is down about percent. With respect :confused:, Batya from France.
