The Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter 2003 issues of PR Watch are now available free online in the PR Watch Archives section of our website. Highlights of the Third Quarter issue include Sharon Beder's "The Electricity Deregulation Con Game," which looks at how companies like Enron used PR to sell the idea of energy deregulation to the public, with disastrous consequences; and Paul Goldberg's "Cancer PR Firms Still Addicted to Tobacco," which shows how the Shandwick and Edelman PR firms have worked on the U.S. National Dialogue on Cancer, despite a history of representing tobacco industry clients. In the Fourth Quarter 2003 issue, Laura Miller explains our Disinfopedia - a free, online "encyclopedia of propaganda" to which anyone - including you - can contribute research and information.
