I was just sent another PM that stated that one article would be published this week and one is being held because of it's length. It sounded to me as if the second article might need to be trimmed back. Again this PM came to me with the journalist's message intact.
I signed up for auto delivery of all articles from the Portland Business Journal that include the words: NVEI, Brad Ketch, RIM Semiconductor. Not sure I'll catch the article before anyone else does, but I think the auto send service is a nice feature and its free.
