Here is my dilemma. I'm working at a smallish, Architecture & Design Company. We are doing some unique projects and there is the opportunity for some great media coverage. I am a 2 years graduated, english major, who has dabbled in writing in the past (but haven't stuck to a cohesive career path). Ipso facto I have become the primary source of copy for our firm's website, BUT my writing must first pass through the big Boss, who seems to like my writing, and then through our graphics/ marketing/ webmaster. The problem is, our webmaster is a terrible writer. His copy is flat, lifeless, boistrous, and just plain tacky. I'm getting frustrated submitting my writing to him because he changes it so dramatically. My motivation is lacking which is dangerous because I basically work on my own with no primary supervision or deadlines.
Does anyone have any advice, or either sucking it up, or speaking to him about this (warning, he is a semi difficult person to deal w/ because he thinks he knows everything).
Any advice would be sooo helpful!

Thanks for the food for thought, TJ.
My first inclination upon reading about this case is to commend Mazda for doing the right thing, both by their consumers and their shareholders. My reasoning for this is as follows:
Even with full disclosure and a signed waiver, a problem could potentially arise that could be linked to a pre-existing condition of the vehicle, and that problem could ultimately be shown to be an example of company negligence. By not allowing this possibility, Mazda is protecting their shareholders' future interest in the company.
Furthermore, while scrapping the vehicles will inevitably show up on company ledgers as a loss, Mazda stands to recoup some of that loss come tax time. Although I am no tax-law guru, there are many deductions available to corporations should they suffer a fate such as this.
On the consumer side, Mazda is removing the temptation for a customer to drive a car off the lot which might potentially fail them in some way in the future due to its pre-sale condition. The customer would be likely to lose a lot of their warranty rights on a vehicle that had some damage disclosed through a waiver. It might also be harder to get loans financed on these vehicles, as well as present a problem for insuring the vehicle. Additionally, the potential exists for a more difficult sale or trade-in when it comes time for a new car. Many of these issues might initially be ignored by the consumer in lieu of a less expensive vehicle up front. Mazda is displaying sensitivity toward many emerging consumer-side issues by not simply waving the "Buyer Beware" flag and unloading these flawed vehicles.

I am a senior Public Relations major and the exiting Vice President of the Central Washington University PRSSA chapter. Upon my destiny with graduation, I will enter the industry a confident leader ready to tackle any obstacle in front of me. My goals include working for several of the worlds top PR agency's, then transition into advertising; I hope to create one of the most memorable Super Bowl advertisements of all time. After I gain valuable knowledge and experience working in the industry, I will either open my own shop, become an independent practitioner or retire to spend time with my family.

We should all try to make it to the cocktail party at EMP with Brian. This is a GREAT opportunity to network with PR professionals for those of you not making it to National Conference. Brian, I'm going to try to go, I'll let you know for sure when the date gets closer.
