Cashing the Czech

October 13th, 2010

Whether Robert Maxwell dedicated suicide or was murdered may never be recognized towards the public .

..

Suffice it to say the disgraced publishing magnate cheated so many folks and monetary institutions to such an extent that there wouldn’t be a paucity of suspects if it was the latter. Born in Slatinske Dòly to poor parents as Jan Ludvick Hoch and Anglicizing his title when he migrated to Wonderful Britain during Globe Warfare II, Maxwell utilized the fog of combat to his advantage, picking off a scientific journal distributorship at a bargain charge. He soon parlayed that into far more literary acquisitions and performing so with this kind of aplomb, he even obtained election to Parliament.

 

Nonetheless, a path of deceit began soon thereafter, which led to a High Court docket censorship, then to possible conflict crime allegations and, ultimately, to an astounding net of falsified stability sheets and deceptive bank mortgage collateral which masked Maxwell’s mass looting of his very own publishing empire’s coffers. When all was about to arrive crashing down upon him, Maxwell was reported to possess fallen overboard while yachting alongside the Canary Islands. His intensive double-dealing earned him the posthumous title with the Bouncing Czech.

 

Maxwell’s bombastic ego, although, was authentic. He ached to be bigger than lifestyle and to outdo any perceived rival, for instance Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch, whose personal publishing empire spans the globe. Ironically, Maxwell attempted to seize any opportunity to portray Murdoch as being a low-life, casting himself as a higher-minded choice on the conscientious buyer. Therefore, to counter Murdoch’s titillation-themed, Tory-leaning tabloid, the Sun, Maxwell ran his Daily Mirror as being a seemingly kinder, gentler, Labour-oriented purveyor of similar tales.

 

Maxwell constantly ran a distant second in the United Kingdom’s tabloid wars, so he was constantly searching for an edge with which to tweak Murdoch’s operations and more convey the image — nonetheless cynical — of his retaining the greater social and ethical floor. I can attest that, no less than as soon as, a blend of this obsession and his blowhard character got the better of him.

 

It had been a summer working day in the mid-80s, and also the prospects of secondary smoke being a well being concern inside workplace were beginning to become accepted as fact. It was absolutely noble for Cap’n Bob — as Maxwell was derisively known — to be among the 1st to attempt an office-wide smoking ban. The Mirror’s headquarters was no doubt better served, however it was clear his motives have been for self-promotion instead of a genuine problem for his employees’ welfare.

 

The very first clue that this was the case was the boisterous method by which Maxwell arbitrarily enforced the policy. Specifically, he cherished to produce a scene if it showed him in an authoritarian and beneficial light. Therefore, when Cap’n Bob proclaimed a ban, he did it for maximum impact. On this example, he decreed that anyone caught cigarette smoking in his building can be fired around the spot.

 

On this day, Maxwell was holding courtroom for guests of some dignified nature. He was guiding them via the Mirror services when a person hunched more than a close by photocopy machine caught his attention. The person received a cigarette dangling from his lips.

 

Cap’n Bob summoned his guests to stick to him more than there. Puffing his chest as he approached the guy puffing aside, Maxwell started his diatribe within just actions of his quarry and acquired decibels with each successive step. Read the rest of this entry »

Celebrity and the Digital Age

February 4th, 2010

It’s a new year and a new decade and that means a whole new generation of celebrities (and maybe some old ones) will be popping up again. There was once a time on earth if a certain individual possessed a particular talent this individual would be called a celebrity and celebrated on newspapers, magazines and on TV.

In the 21st century all that has changed because of reality TV, the internet and the rise of new social media. Today media has become more affordable and easily available. By accessing blogs and social networking sites it is now even easier to get the latest gossip. Facebook and Twitter have allowed people all over the world to share and collect information and sites like YouTube let people create user generated content, which some argue is better than the content they get from the conventional media as it is unedited and the story behind the content grabs its audience’s attention because it’s made by ‘real people’.

Citizen journalism has not only been concerned with the serious news but is having a huge following in the celebrity gossip sector and these ‘citizen journalists’ have no allegiance to a media outlet and do not have to be politically correct. They are free to express their views how ever, when ever and where ever they want and anyone is free to comment on what they say. Some have even become celebrities themselves like Perez Hilton, which shows that even people with no academic or industry training in journalism can present their comments and opinions over the blogosphere and the internet and be celebrated.

So what does this mean for celebrity PR? Unlike advertising, PR is more difficult in controlling its messages and therefore needs to enforce PR strategy to gain competitive advantage. In this case public relation agencies should be embracing the future of media early in order to combat its negative attention for clients. PR needs to engage with these people in order to get positive news from them. Newspapers are in decline and finding it difficult to charge to consumers for their content over the internet. It is even easier for the public to gain information because of mobile phone technology and mobile internet technology for laptops.

We live in a world were information can be reached so fast that if you blink you’ll have heard of someone and then never hear of them again. It is absolutely critical that PR consultants get to know this new system in order to ensure its survival as an industry as this will be how people get their news during this decade with even more pictures and video content to go with it. Technology advances mean that media outlets will continue to invest online, which will lead to a greater demand for digital PR support. As for celebrities they will need to work harder as fame will come with an even bigger audience. In the age of new media and digital technology reputation management for people in the limelight will be a growing sector within the PR industry and goes hand in hand with traditional publicists and Celebrity PR consultants.
