In other words, not pleasant.
The last thing a journalist needs when (s)he is trying to put a story to bed on time is to receive a call from you - no matter how dulcet your tones.

Please, yes - get the message out!
I'm constantly bombarded by press agencies looking to get me to cover their releases by phoning me up.
If you sent the release, I've got it, and will consider it - ringing me up and wasting my time with that when an email will do is great.
Also, don;t ask if it went up a few days later - check the blooming site!! The number of times I've had enquiries about whether something was posted, only to point out that it went up a few days ago...
