Overt Misrepresentation or Just Plain Old Good PR


January 18th, 2008 by Sterling Hager


This story out of the New Haven Independent today raises questions about whether or not a former (maybe, sort of) on-air television journalist now doing PR misrepresented her status and clouded her client relationship while making a newsy video for the client that looked a lot like the sort of thing she used to do for years at WFSB-TV Channel 3.

The article gives you a link to a site where you can view the video for yourself. I watched it.

I'm in no position to know whether this was just a disclosure oversight on the part of a former TV journalist or the overt act of someone counting on the notion we're all stupid so what the heck. Either way, it dosn't improve my impression of the traditional public relations profession. How about you?
