Friday, August 12, 2016. 5 Characteristics of Reputation [Abbott Media Group]. Like any tool, a reputation constantly needs sharpening to be effective. But it can be double-edged instrument that can cut you and severely damage you, if you're not careful, or mishandle it. If our luggage is lost, we will not believe the ad calling the airline "competent." In the same way, your company’s reality-on-the-ground must match the rhetoric your Reputation Agency is putting out about you, in order for you...3 A rep...

Below are five examples, and what I believe they need to do to fix their news programs to better serve the American people:. Of Network news must end.

Friday, July 29, 2016. Earned Media" And Why You Should Seek It [Abbott Media Group]. I was discussing earned media with a local business owner today and thought I'd share what I shared with him. Ads are paid for, by their very nature. Even if those who see them don't consciously think it, they know it's been paid for, and that the buyer (you) has an agenda: that you want them to see it and feel good about your business or the product being advertised. This is usually accomplished through news releases -...

Friday, April 22, 2016. Why "Winging It" Is A Bad Approach For Candidates [Abbott Media Group]. Political newcomers will make mistakes, and perhaps it's a bit unfair to judge someone like Donald Trump to harshly when it comes to his many gaffes and errors when speaking. In the end, however, words do, in fact, matter. And actually speaking the right words is critical for a candidate if they want to effectively convey their beliefs, principles, hopes and aspirations to voters. That's why the words Donald T...

Friday, May 13, 2016. Is Print #Media Dead? Not Another Obituary) [Abbott Media Group]. Is print media dead? I just read yet another post online saying just that. It's not difficult to draw that conclusion, given the decades-long slide into oblivion by many major and minor players in the field of print journalism. Print publications large and small have long struggled with rapidly diminishing ad revenue, fewer eyeballs, and stiff competition from online media sources. In business, too, pay-to-play (stori...

Abbott Public Relations Blog: December 2005
http://abbottpr.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 27, 2005. Sorry, I have to speak out on this "domestic spying" issue. How stupid are Democrats? If an al-Quaeda operative phones or emails an operative in the US, they don't want anyone to be able to intercept it. Then, if that operative in the U.S. emails or calls someone else WITHIN the U.S., they say it's an invasion of privacy to tap the line or read the email. And they wonder why they can't get elected. First, they want us to lose in Iraq, now this. Wednesday, December 21, 2005.

Abbott Public Relations Blog: January 2006

Thursday, January 19, 2006. Lessons about crises from the Sago Mine. The incident at the Sago Mine in West Virginia holds many lessons, but one that stood out to me is the lessons business owners can learn about crisis management. The mine owners' experience is a lesson in how NOT to manage the scene. The most crucial lesson here is, of course, "Manage the message.". It was clear watching footage of the disaster that TV crews went to the families for news, not company officials. Those families had re...

Friday, April 21, 2006. It's the excellent GOP economy, stupid! The April 21, 2006 Christian Science Monitor. In many ways, they say, these are the best of times: Unemployment is at 4.7 percent, lower than the averages of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. The economy is showing strong, consistent growth, without significant inflation. And the stock market is roaring along. The fact that he and other Democrats now take credit for this boom is a testament to good (though warped) communication, as well as a testam...
