Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

Sure, many of us in this modern world are cynical. The most cynical may even suspect that the news is manipulated and massaged by sponsors, that corporations act in their best interests, that political campaigns are determined not by votes, but by bucks, and that we don't get "all the news that's fit to print" but instead, "all the news that gets the ink". But even the most media-savvy amongst you will be awed by the behind-the-scenes descriptions of the Public Relations industry in action so masterfully described in this book. If you want your eyes to be opened, open them upon the pages of this book. (But remember: there are some very important people counting on you, and they really would prefer that you didn't ever hear about this book, much less buy it.)

From Booklist

Who will hate this book more: the nation's 150,000 public relations professionals or the corporate and government clients whose scandals, scams, and shenanigans prompted those professionals to develop sophisticated spin-control techniques like greenwashing, cross-pollination, and astroturf organizing? Stauber and Rampton--editor and associate editor, respectively, of PR Watch, a newsletter published by the Center for Media and Democracy--look back to the tobacco flackery of Edward Bernays and forward to the premillenial mix of methods used by the Christian Coalition's Ralph Reed. They assess public relations' role in marketing nuclear power, infant formula, "biosolids," and authoritarian governments from Colombia to Kuwait and in orchestrating opposition to groups and reporters who have challenged corporate and sometimes government interests on such issues as product safety, the environment, animal rights, and foreign policy. Objecting mainly to the secrecy in which public relations campaigns are cloaked, the authors view NIMBY groups as a potentially positive democratic response. Appendixes offer lists of the largest public relations firms and further readings, as well as excerpts from one corporation's crisis management plan.

Overall, the book is a great read with a lot of great examples and case studies. But, the more I read, the more I thought the book was doing what it hated PR people for doing. I'm all for the environment, but as you get into this book, I felt that the author himself fell into the "practice" of spreading propagranda for the environmental coalition. PR just like advertising and marketing are there for hire, and it's a tool of persuasion. In the end, you get the impression that Toxic Sludge belongs under the same category--different perspective, same motivation.

In countries under terror, people have acquired the skill to 'read in between the lines'. In the 'free' world, we are lulled into a sense of security and well being. That is before you read this book. I read newspapers differently, news reports become question marks and media hype becomes a circus. If you have a good memory and a feel for historical information, then this book puts a fair few pieces in the puzzle.

Must reading for everyone. I bought a bunch of copies and am giving them as gifts to my friends.

I used to wonder why I heard so much contradictary news in the major media pertaining to health and the environment. First, a news item quotes an authority saying a food is safe, the next year the same newspaper says it's dangerous, and the next year after that they claim it's good for you. After reading this book, I know why. There are thousands of environmental and health , and scientific organizations. According to this book, many (but not all) of these organizations are not much more than clever PR fronts, funded mainly by industry. For example, I have often seen and continue to see information provided by the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) in the major newspapers and magazines. The media usually takes this organization at its word as a credible scientific source.

According to this book: The ACSH is an industry front group that produces PR ammunition for the food processing and chemical industries. They praise the nutritional values of fast food and receive money from the fast food industry. They claim pesticides are very safe and take money from a host of pesticide manufacturers. The list goes on and on.. Yet the journalists usually take the ACSH words almost verbatim as fact and print it in their newspaper. Most journalists don't check their sources, or they're puppets of industry. Then the public reads this stuff as if it were scientifically proven fact. Public policy and law often gets decided on the basis of this "knowledge." Of course, some readers of these "facts" are skeptical, but no one seriously challenges the ACSH's credibility. Thus the ACSH continues to operate as if it were an objective science institute. Thousands of front groups worldwide use many of the same techniques. It then becomes obvious why so many people have a mistrust for science and don't know what to believe.

I used to think this country was a democracy, but now I know who really pulls the strings on many key issues. It's not the PR firms, it's the companies who hire the PR firms. Don't miss this book. For related info on health and environmental issues, I recommend "Our Stolen Future" by Theo Colborn.

A great, often frightening taste of reality in the PR world.
This is an ideal book to inspire independent and critical thinking towards mass media and PR industries. It definitely exposes the true agendas of these fields.

This is a somewhat interesting book...some interesting facts and comments. I enjoyed reading it, up until the point they started defending Saddam...they sort of lost me there. Lesen Sie weiter...
