  • Reply to: In Iraq, the U.S. Military Needs to Tell Its Story Better   16 years 1 week ago

    In your abstract you quote, "An Army public affairs officer said the goal of the work is to communicate 'with people in Iraq in as many ways [as] possible what we're trying to do to help them, and what we're trying to do to prevent people from using these ruthless roadside bombs that blow up people in streets, in schools, and synagogues.'"

    I was struck by the incredible stupidity of this Army officer in his ignorant use of the word "synagogue." Then I discovered the error was not his, but yours.

    The actual quote from PR Week ends "... in streets, in schools and mosques, we find that a very important thing.”

    I will give you the benefit of the doubt assume the misquote to be unintentional, but can't help but wonder how the word swap happened. Besides, why wouldn't you just cut and paste? A more skeptical person might conclude you have an agenda...

    Babbin is for sure an expert in propaganda and Words of Mass Destruction : "going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. You just leave a lot of useless, noisy baggage behind." "EUnuchs" (old Europe) "The UN : handmaiden of terrorism", "midwife to the birth of terrorism", "a base of operations for terrorists in the US" (see "Inside the Asylum") ______________________________________________________________________________________ Stephane MOT - <a href="http://e-blogules.blogspot.com">blogules and other Weapons of Mass Disinformation</a> _____________________________________________

    At least 3 deceptive moments in this ceremony : along with this singer and the fake fireworks effects, the kids supposed to represent the 50+ ethnies of China all came from the Han majority.

    Chinese audience discovers the "live" events with a 10" delay, the time for the propaganda units to edit potential political disruptions.

    So when Bolt broke the record worldwide, he still was in the starting blocks on the Chinese TV.

    Although businesses would be exposing certain weaknesses to the marketplace by allowing individuals, or even competitors, to post critical comments, responding with an honest and transparent answer designed around solving the issue at hand may mitigate potential risks.

    Media Marketing is a relatively new concept utilized by businesses in developing an online community, which allows satisfied customers to congregate and extol the virtues of a particular brand. In most cases, the online community includes mechanisms such as blogs, podcasts, message boards, and product reviews, all of which contribute to a transparent forum to post praises, criticisms, questions, and suggestions.
