video news release

(TELEVISION JOURNALISM) video segment created by a specialized PR firm under commission from a company or government agency, that is made to look like a regular news segment. It is then submitted to news stations and run without attribution. In this way, the official opinion of (say) British Petroleum, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, or Regence Blue Shield is presented as journalism.

The practice is illegal, but fines are derisory, license suspension for the offender NEVER has happened, and all news networks and affiliates do it. Most do it a lot.

Medialink Worldwide is one of the largest producers of video news releases.

When VNRs are created for the government, they are called "informational news releases" and are typically made to justify policies of the current ruling party.

Toe Drag Release

Toe drag release is a term often used by hockey players, originated by Coach Chippy, to describe a specific move that involves pulling the puck back towards the heel of the stick with the toe of the blade, and then quickly releasing it towards the net in one smooth motion. This move is typically used by Connor (Bedsy) Bedard. The goal of the move is to deceive an opponent, creating a scoring opportunity by quickly changing the direction of the puck and catching the opposing goalie off guard. The toe drag release requires excellent stickhandling skills and hand-eye coordination, and is a popular technique used by many skilled players in the game of hockey.

#2: Yeah, he's hott, but he's only 15.
#1: Tag and release that stud!
