Regulation full disclosure is giving journalists unprecedented access to company information, but in an ironic twist, it may be making business leaders less accessible. In a panel
discussion of finance leaders and journalists hosted last month by PR Newswire, some panelists indicated that CEOs are tougher to track down for one-on-one interviews because so
much information is already released through general channels. Also, some found that RFD has made the communications process far less casual for many companies.
