Eventually, it had to happen. Tiger Woods had to speak in “public” about his, uh, situation.
But, did official golfdom have to provide the venue?
Enough has been said about Tiger to fill several PR crisis communications classes, and the true, sad fact of this matter is that too many of us still care too much about [...]

Maybe it’s because I was gone for two months on a sabbatical, but returning to my reader has been a disappointment. Let me be more specific. In particular the social media, PR and marketing blog posts about PR, social media, marketing and, yes, the general “conversation,” read like a time warp back [...]

The really old school capitalists like to say that the only business of business is to provide a return to shareholders. Long before the concept of “stakeholders” came into being, business was conducted, customers and suppliers were treated fairly or not, and it all somehow moved along.

My last Buzz Bin blog post about Jackasses, F-bombs and Incivility focused on recent bad behaviors online and offline. This weekend, there were refreshing signs that bad behavior does have its payback (photo by Blumie the Koala). Kanye West, fresh off his Taylor Swift grab-the-mic dis, was forced to cancel his tour with [...]

Ever notice how people always want to put you in a box (image from Kevin Dooley)? Yet, getting dubbed a “social media expert” a “PR professional” rankles me. In the end, it’s semantics, and in both cases, somewhat true. But it makes the hair on my neck stand up on end, and in actual [...]

Dear X:
People say we’re the same, an ironic statement given how often we disagree. Our polarized views on communication leave me wondering if organizations will ever be able to understand their stakeholders, and develop true relationships with them.
