Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Your organization. Your client’s organization. It’s unstoppable. It’s colossal. It’s Unsnkable. Dude! You hear that, RUN!
  2. Your client. Your shareholders. FULL STEAM AHEAD.
  3. Above the surface is what the public sees. Most don’t see (or know) what is beneath the surface EVEN if the water seems clear and transparent. Icebergs don’t move, don’t navigate (like sharks do). Icebergs are there and they are waiting for something to HIT them.
  4. Public Affairs, Public Information, Public Relations experts are the lifeboat of an organization. You can’t save everyone. You hate to admit, you have to make a judgment call of who’s worthy or the best possible outcome. Women and children first isn’t a throw to chivalry. It’s survival of a group, community, organization or subset of a species. We have to minimize the loss to the whole.
  5. TransparencyBe upfront, be certain, be open—you will be considered real!‘I don’t know’ IS a response‘No comment’ is a POSTURE. Don’t be that guy/galBe available and responsive. Silence defilade is bad bad bad.“We were unable to reach officials from (your company) for comment” Looks like you’re dodging.RelationshipsKeep them, ask for help, be real
  6. Your brainThink first, speak second. Let me get back to you…and DO get back to them.I’m right in the middle of something something…can I get back with you in five minutes?Your mouthYOU are the voice of your company or your client’s company. See Above I don’t know about that, but what I DO know is…I can’t comment on their policy, but what I CAN say is…Transparency = confidence= believability=quick-er death of the story.Our media flight was over by Thursday.
