Crisis Communications – Sharapova’s Drug Crisis
Rachel Brockway | Mar 17, 2016
I seem to be on a path right now to write about crisis communications (I must be part of some multi-platform database from Facebook and Twitter to show me articles I would be interested in – which include public relations and crisis communications) because just a few weeks ago I wrote about Uber’s crisis communications […]

Alison Bailin | Mar 14, 2016
Each Monday, we are posting a blog to help our readers get to know the media just a little bit better. With a TWIST! No, we aren’t posting story pitch tips or media lists, but instead great stories from the media themselves about their lives, their work and other little known facts! Think of it […]

Crisis Communications – Responding vs Reacting
Rachel Brockway | Mar 10, 2016
Earlier this week I heard about Whole Foods being under fire for selling whole pre-peeled oranges in plastic containers. Very quickly, as a result of social media, Whole Foods (and people who would purchase the product) were being attacked for being too lazy to peel an orange and also the waste of the plastic container […]

She was a long-time print journalist at the Arizona Republic, moved into communications for a state agency and most recently announced that she was moving to KJZZ, Phoenix’s NPR affiliate.

Abbie Fink | Feb 29, 2016
Regular readers of this column may think they’ve read about Christina Estes before. And you’d be right. We featured her here back in 2011 when she was just starting at KFYI.

Does #Uber have a Crisis Communications Plan?
Rachel Brockway | Feb 24, 2016
Landis Communications, our Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) partner in San Francisco, shared a post from Carolyn Said, reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate, on Twitter titled Uber marshals crisis-response for Michigan shooting spree. Side note: I don’t know who runs the Twitter account over at Landis, but apparently we have the same […]

Scott Hanson | Feb 22, 2016
Michael Kiefer, courts and legal writer for The Arizona Republic, novelist and travel writer. I spent some time with him a recent Society of Professional Journalists mixer and he’s got some interesting stories. And more than his interesting stories – he’s an interesting guy!

#BookClub – Manipurated
Abbie Fink | Feb 9, 2016
The foreword to this book was written by Jay Baer. In it he quotes Nielsen research that claims that 91 percent of Americans trust recommendations from their friends. The fact that I bought the book in the first place proves that…Jay recommended it so I bought. The book, Manipurated by Daniel Lemin, sheds light on […]

Alison Bailin | Feb 8, 2016
Those of you who know me, know I am all about the West Coast. It is, after all, the best coast, according to Snoop Dogg. But, every so often, I make an exception to be friends with an East Coaster – especially if that East Coaster came to her senses and now lives on this […]

#MediaMonday – Steven Totten
Alison Bailin | Feb 1, 2016
If you read the Phoenix Business Journal regularly, then you’ve probably noticed a new name attached to several stories – Steven Totten. A fellow ASU graduate, he headlines this week’s #MediaMonday profile, our weekly columns dedicated to telling the stories of the media rather than just pitching to the media. Think of it as your […]
