She is not allowed visitors, except for the soulless guards who watch her and the nameless interrogators who taunt her. This woman is not unique or alone. There are hundreds, possibly thousands more women and menContinue reading “Something Wicked This Way Comes”

PR and Journalism Bloggers in the “Echo Chamber”
I like to think that my colleagues and peers are smarter than me, work harder than me, and with the exception of Craig Newmark and any L.A.

Tim Porter and Tom Murphy: The Smartest-Thinking Men in Blog Land
I live my life with few absolutes – making time to read with my daughter, watching every second of American Idol, and picking up The New Yorker when in airports to make myself look smart on business trips, even though I’d much rather read People.

But now I can go online and find the same highContinue reading “Enter the Modern Mediasphere”

PR to the Rescue: Ten Slogans to Save Newspapers
Rarely a day goes by when someone isn’t bellyaching about newspapers and their collision course with the recycling heap of history. I believe, as PR and marketing people, we need to step in and help our ink-stained brothers and sisters of the Fourth Estate (which if it were an actual estate would be in foreclosureContinue reading “PR to the Rescue: Ten Slogans to Save Newspapers”

But today I want to offer my thoughts and prayers to Angell Watts, spokesperson for Christian broadcaster, former Presidential candidate and the craziestContinue reading “Worst Job Ever: PR Spokesperson for Pat Robertson”
