Cynics
I’d gone to this select press meet today. While the information shared by the person (I won’t name him here) was more of a reaction to something the competitor had said sometime back, I think the ladies with me were quite cruel in dissecting the whole interview.
It all started with what a recluse he was, why wasn’t the company – which is incidentally one of the forerunners in their sector more media savvy etc… While I agree with them in most part, what really came as an eye-opener of sorts was the importance a company’s media relations has gained today and how cynical journos gets once they gain seniority – the been there done that attitude, which actually shows in their copies. Either I’m too young to comprehend their cynicism or they’re too old (read experienced) to write without bias.
I'd written this two years back and still stand by it...
