Promise me you won’t write things like this.

How confusing can this be? Referencing multiple time zones in the same sentence, changing previous embargo times.

The attached news release regarding [redacted] will be distributed on Thursday, Jan. 6 at 8 a.m. EST, however, the embargo on the news lifts at 11 a.m. PST tomorrow, Jan. 5, so you can include the news in your stories regarding the [redacted] launch. I’ve also attached images.

Also, keep in mind that [redacted] news embargo also moved up to tomorrow, Jan. at 11 a.m. due to [redacted] launch.

Yes, the date was missing in that second paragraph.
