5WPR PR AGENCY CEO: MEDIA WORTH CONSUMING
Some recent interesting media relevant to anyone working in public relations or marketing which I came across and wanted to share:
- http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/are-navy-seals-getting-too-much-publicity-619/2012/02/08/gIQAr4pyyQ_video.html
- Interesting commentary on whether Navy Seals are getting too much publicity – and possible damage (and danger) it can do to them.
- http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/166561/nominated-movies-need-publicity-marketing.html
- “The one thing that almost all the movies nominated for the top statues at this year’s Academy Awards share is that they need the attendant shot of publicity and marketing that the nominations bring to be considered a popular success.”
- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/tom-j-wilson/why-is-the-bbc-doing-fide_b_1256168.html
- Blog column in the Huffington Post UK criticizes the BBC for doing glowing, great stories on dictator Fidel Castro and glossing over the atrocities he has committed – hence the catchy headline “Why is the BBC Doing Fidel Castro’s Publicity for Him?”
- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2099066/Celebrities-turn-publicity-tap-Mail-editor-tells-inquiry.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
- http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-01-27/us/30670264_1_state-hillary-clinton-elections-second-term
- Celebrities, and Hillary Clinton have to deal with the fact that high-profile means a different life and a ton of publicity. We have clients who utilize our crisis PR firm to keep them out of the media – but certainly A-List celebs and Hillary won’t be completely media-free. It’s the price of fame and success.
