PR Crisis

We Are Talking Again!

I’m pleased to announce that my podcast “Stop Talking – Crisis Management In The Digital Age” has launched its second season as of Thursday, March 16, 2022. Host Tom Jelneck and I had a longer than expected hiatus due to the pandemic and other issues that we discuss on the podcast. Suffice it to say that like everyone around the globe, the past couple of years have been difficult and emotional here, too.

 

But it’s time to move forward and return to conversations about crisis communications, corporate communication mishaps and stumbles, the news media – to whom we are profoundly grateful at this time for their coverage of the Russian war against Ukraine. Along the way, we may randomly expand our topics just for fun.

 

We kick off Season 2 with a delightful guest -- retired USA Today editor (and my longtime friend) Carolyn Cerbin, who shares her experiences in print journalism as it expanded to digital news coverage and all the bits in between.

 

On a personal note, my thanks to so many of you who have been asking me to bring the podcast back. Our muscle memory was a bit shaky, but we’ll find our groove. I’m also very excited to have potential guests asking to appear and talk about, well, not talking. Thanks for listening!

In our latest podcast, we had a fascinating conversation with special guest, journalist Nicole Weisensee Egan, author of "Chasing Cosby, The Downfall of America’s Dad." Ms. Egan walks us through why and how she began following the story of Bill Cosby and the many women who accused him of sexual assault and his ultimate criminal conviction. Ms. Egan has followed this story from the very beginning and shares the complexities of covering one the country’s most beloved entertainers as he plummeted to disgrace. Hope you enjoy the conversation and thank you Nicki!

Duck Dynasty, Duck!

How nice to welcome the peace and joy-filled Christmas season with yet another public relations crisis by someone who is more adept at communicating with water fowl than with humans beings.  I have never seen A&E's "Duck Dynasty," although I’m aware of its popularity. Based on the little I know about the television show
