Do you have an example of anyone publishing an embargoed press
release on the web?
Agreed - embargoed press releases are usually emailed or faxed straight
to trusted journalists who would respect the embargo. Posting them on a
public Web site defeats the purpose.
They are also republished by wire services to their clients. At least in
Denmark the wire agency Ritzau sends embargoed press releases (and
stories) to newspapers via their electronic telegram service. I agree that
posting embargoed stories on the open web would defeat the purpose, but
they might be posted in non-public parts of the web (though it is harder
to research).
