BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Catapult PR-IR, a leader in high-tech public and investor relations, today announced that its Co-founder Guy Murrel has been named a Top Tech Communicator by PRSourceCode, a content service provider serving the information technology (IT) journalism, conference, industry accolade and public relations (PR) communities. Murrel is one of 35 high-tech PR professionals that were recognized by leading high-tech journalists for responsiveness, reliability and overall recognition of their editorial needs.

PRSourceCode's Third Annual "Top Tech Communicators" (http://www.prsourcecode.com/TopTechCommunicators2008.asp) study delivers editorial perspective on the IT industry's top PR agencies, corporate PR departments and individual PR practitioners. This year's findings are based on an online survey of the editorial staffs of more than 800 of the leading IT and business publications. Respondents were asked to nominate PR agencies, corporate PR departments as well as individual PR practitioners. The survey spanned the IT editorial community -- from horizontal IT publications, such as Computerworld and eWeek, to vertical magazines, such as telecommunications and healthcare trade journals, to consumer-oriented news outlets, such as USA Today and U.S. News and World Report.

"Continuing our mission to strengthen the relationship between the editorial and public relations communities, PRSourceCode is pleased to honor Catapult PR-IR through the 'Top Tech Communicators' study," said Brent Papson, national account director at PRSourceCode.

Murrel, a 20-year veteran of the high-tech PR industry, is recognized in the survey this year for the first time. "I'm proud to be recognized by PRSourceCode as a Top Tech Communicator," he said. "It is quite an honor to receive this recognition from journalists. At Catapult, we strive to establish and maintain collaborative relationships with the media on behalf of our clients. This award supports that we're meeting our goal in that area."
