I first read it a bit out of curiosity, but I later realized how useful this document really is. It could be subtitled "A HowTo for geeks/scientists needing to interface with the general press". Kudos to the authors for taking the time for writing such a useful debrief of their process, especially towards the end where they collect the lessons they learned. This little document should probably be publicized, I'm sure it can turn out to be a huge time saver for projects in the right situation. Thanks for making it available.
