I've been editing trade pubs in multiple fields for a long time, and have always excused poorly written releases full of self-serving promotion and missing vital information as the norm in PR in industries I cover. But CCI has set the bar much higher: releases are concise, accurate and written in news style. Their feature stories are tailored to my readers and the photography they provide always exceeds publication standards. The CCI principals read my publication, know my deadlines, understand my audience and never pitch a story that doesn't hit part of my reader segments.
