Screenshot of a google search for 'media request service'

Google search results can be a little wacky these days what with their weird love for old Reddit posts and AI slop. But, fair play to them, they got results from this query for 'media request service' right ✅😜 #digitalpr #seo

Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.
