John Stauber's view on public relations
John Stauber, is the founder of the Center for Media and Democracy, which sponsors PR Watch, he is one person I have huge amount of respect for. I have always taken note of his outpourings which are usually very insightful. Stauber has been around the block, since the 1960s. He has worked with public interest, consumer, family farm, environmental and community organizations at the local and national level in North America and has really made a difference I was so pleased to find this cool video on You Tube.
The PR universe is thought of as cool place to explore; this film illuminates some of its dark corners and exposes its unpleasant underbelly. Stauber usually teams up with Sheldon Rampton and their latest book, The Best War Ever: Lies, Damned Lies, and the Mess in Iraq unravel the Bush administration’s “web of disinformation” around its handling of the war.
