"Bet-the-company litigation, aggressive regulators, Congressional investigations, pit bull bloggers who feed the mainstream media .In today's world, corporate decision-makers, nation states, and high-profile individuals all live and work in a fish bowl. Communications crises are seldom accidents. They often result from orchestrated attacks by interested parties. Their targets are cast as villains in grim public scenarios that get broadcast globally before their unwitting victims even know there's a show in town .Almost everything that happens on Wall Street or K Street or Main Street happens because somebody is shrewd enough to calculate the media impact. In the Internet Age, the stakes are ratcheted up exponentially. News cycles are reduced from a matter of hours to a matter of moments. The Court of Public Opinion is no longer ruled mainly by professionally trained and accountable journalists. Today, bloggers, playing by very different rules, are equally persuasive and powerful or even more so. Stop the Presses is an indispensable resource for companies, countries, and their counselors who refuse to be the plaything of an uncontrolled media and the adversaries who seek to manipulate it. Since it was first published in 2004, this lively and authoritative book, rich with anecdote and practical guidance, has been a valued tool for decision-makiers throughout the world. This second edition, with a preface by brand guru Jack Trout, provides new and practical insights into the events and developments -- from blogs and boardroom imbroglios, to data security breaches and SOX compliance -- that have transformed high-stakes communications since the book was first published. The updated Stop the Presses is an indispensable tool for surviving in the post-Enron amphitheater. As Jack Trout says in his preface, "Professionals like Richard Levick and Larry Smith are the necessary complement to strategists like me. They've been salvaging reputations and rescuing brands for decades now. This book distills the wisdom they've gained as a result." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
