P.R Stereotypes

As a P.R. Student in my Senior year of college i've always heard that people believe P.R practioners are untruthful to the public, which by the way is NOT true! The role and job of a P.R practioner is to maintain the relationship of it's general public and an organization to ensure everyones needs are being met constantly. What's considered ethical to one individual is different with many p.r cases and sometimes doing the wrong thing might be the right thing or is it? As a growing practioner in the p.r. field I must say that there is alot of research involved in order to keep the credibility valuable. As a P.r Practioner It is very important to me that the public is aware that p,r practioners are not out to make the big bucks and get the spot light with the entertainment industry, but we also work for hospitals, schools, and many other organizations that may need help finding out information between them and their target audience. What kind of ethical P.R practioner are you? One for one or a One for ALL?

Pointing Fingers!


According to yahoo news, The papers and the blogs are full of stories about fingerpointing, recriminations and strategic disarray in the Clinton camp entering tonight's debate, as they try out various lines of attack ranging from graciousness to blaming the press to challenging his readiness to serve, his fliers, and his supposed efforts to distract voters from the real issues. Won't revenge be sweet if Hillary somehow turns it around, which is still not impossible? But, it is somewhat unlikely. The smartest quote of the morning comes from Dem strategist Steve McMahon in the Times, who summarizes the present difficulty of drawing the forceful contrasts with Obama that are probably necessary to shift momentum:
“There’s a general rule in politics: A legitimate distinction which could be effective when drawn early in the campaign often backfires and could seem desperate when it happens in the final hours of a campaign.” This was posted by another blogger; By John Riley on February 26,......Who all Agrees to this? I know my stance! What's yours?

FOCUSING:Too much or too LITTLE




We all are aware that the news media has been focusing on the 2008 Presidential campain elections, but there's only been an direct focus on two main individuals. I'm sure we all know who they are and if you don't they are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton! The main question is why so much attention on these two indivduals? Is the media framing you? How do you feel about the spotlighted candidates? What were your feelings before the major focus of the two candidates? Are we as citizens feeding into the media portrayal of the the candidates? These are some really interesting questions that I thought would be important to consider when you decide to view information on the 2008 Presendential candidates!

Obama Offended by Race Comment


Barack Obama's White House campaign lashed out Tuesday after a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter attributed his stunning march through US politics to his race. Hillary Clinton is always talking about putting an end to racial comments in the political campaigns but has yet to fire the supporter who commented on Baracks race. In Obama campaign he fired a girl last week for calling hillary a "monster" according to his campaign spokesperson.
The woman who was responsible for this is Former U.S Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro(to the right).
