Blanchard’s Post

It’s a partnership that definitely takes two to tango. Empaths like us understand, but still some senior journalists should be empathetic to PRs. I recently heard a young journalist at a newswire is turning into a snob, ticking her fingers to have PR’s help her with a plate of food. These same pricks turn super sweet to CEOs and companies for perks like junkets and gifts. They are compromised journalists in my book of definitions. That’s not what consultants are for. They are a bridge between journalists and CEOs. They deserve that much respect. You have work, and so do they. Pick yourself up and get that plate of food! I blame the editors and seniors in her team for rearing a snoot. CEOs don’t have time, journalists don’t have patience. PRs are the AIs you need for beautiful coverage. I’ve been a PR, brand manager and journalist. So I know what it takes to be on each side of the table. And hands down, a PR works more than a journalist. I have no shame in saying that. PRs are excellent reminders, Excel ninjas, PPT maestros and even therapists! I don’t care if these so called certificators of journalism don’t accept me as part of their clan. There was a lack in coverage that they hired me. Shouting out to all my PR friends - keep the bandwagon going, and let nobody dim your light. You are awesome! Some of you are better reporters and without the byline. I know so many pricks in the industry who get articles written by PRs and publish it as theirs. I so wish to name and shame them. They now anchor shows for a nascent business channel of a big news corporation in India. A comms shared the painful ordeal of this deceit. These folks are sleazes who make “overnight reporters”. Disgrace to the industry. And journalists, I know deep down all of you want to be a comms person for the pay, and think that you can have some chill. So please be kind, because one day you will be on other side of the table and a snooty PR will do to you what you once did to an innocent PR. Some PRs are ex-journalists, and they know the shift because of haughty reporters. Don’t be entitled. You can quickly fall off your cloud castle. #PRDay

Ever heard of Chesterton's Fence? 🤔 It's a concept shared by Wade Foster, reminding us not to dismantle a fence without understanding why it was erected. In the dynamic world of decision-making, I've found this principle to be a guiding light. Before diving into change, it's crucial to comprehend the context and reasons behind existing structures. 🔍 Why Ask Questions? In my approach to new projects, I'm a firm believer in asking questions—a lot of them, and then sense check with data and clarifying with different people who holds different perspectives of the puzzle. This helps to provide a holistic understanding for me before considering making any changes. 🌐 Let's Connect: What's your take on Chesterton's Fence?
