Super interesting and helpful feedback. I often don't reply to a journalist 'pass' because I constantly think about the volume of emails from people like me and skipping the one that just says 'got it, thanks' seemed like an easy save-the-inbox move. But now I realize it might be seen as rude and leaving the conversation in the middle.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts behind the decision not to reply. I think it depends on the situation. If a journalist takes the time to offer feedback or they’ve developed a rapport with the person, an acknowledgement seems appropriate (IMHO). If the journalist simply writes “pass” or something along those lines, I don’t think it warrants a reply. I guess it’s totally open to interpretation though as you’ve pointed out.
