About: #muckedup began with a simple blog post describing what journalists really think about bad PR pitches.
The question hit a nerve and conversation erupted on Twitter. Tons of journalists began tweeting their pet peeves about PR pitches and we ended up using #muckedup to better follow the discussion.
How can I work when there’s a #muckedup feed to read?! Lol #PRgirlproblems.

A week later, we held the first official #muckedup chat, discussing how journalists want to be pitched on social media.
It is our hope that #muckedup will evolve into a chat that bridges the gap between journalists and PR folks. We always want the conversation to be productive, honest and at times, even edgy.
