He/she wouldn't! Maybe I shouldn't have tipped him/her off since he/she's been quoting so far. I know better than to argue the point too much, but aren't NDA's a service to media? Would journalists rather NOT have the story before it's released in order to collect their thoughts and sounds smart about breaking news? Or is everyone supposed to understand that in the digital age "information wants to be free" (that famous half quote...)? Crafty bastard! He/she wouldn’t!

Put out a release under NDA with six words that are replaced with synonyms on a rotating basis (or 4 words rotating among 3 synonyms if you want). You can cover 64 journalists (81 for the base 3 method) and based on the version that shows up, you’ve got your ass. Call it a buzzword watermark. Seems easy enough to crack.
