Crisis Planning seems to be big–but how do you know if they are any good?

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:17:25 PDT
I found it very interesting that just today I got two invitations to participate in webinars on crisis planning. One put on by PRSA, and the other by PR University from Bulldog Reporter. Both of these look like worthwhile presentations by expert presenters. My question is this: how can anyone determine whether a crisis plan will be effective? I think this question is coming out of the work I have been doing lately in creating a JIC Evaluation Tool and also reviewing the draft of the National

Breaking: This isn’t really a story

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:19:43 PDT

TrendSpark: Manorexia

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:07:15 PDT
I used to have an eating disorder. I couldn’t help but be obsessed with my weight. Let me start from the beginning. I was always a chunky kid. I was always a couple dozen pounds overweight and in high school I tipped the scale at 270 lbs. When I hit college I became so focussed on studying that I stopped eating.

Cons: RCMP Raid Was a 'Publicity Stunt'

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:10:43 PDT
Pass the tissues. Oh how I weep for those poor victims of the RCMP raid of the Cons' headquarters. Not. The tories are scrambling to paint themselves as being oppressed after yesterday's raid (which continues today). The problem is that they appointed the two Elections Canada officials they're now suing and that they applaud the RCMP (even protecting Zaccardelli to the bitter end) except when they're the targets of a legally-sanctioned warrant. And now, they're also trying to implicate the Li
