The reason that many people view PR in a skewed fashion has to do with the issue of honesty. There is an idea that PR is, too often, used to create an impression that is not true and to cover up or...

Find out who at a station or publication handles such local events and send that person a news release. Alternatively, prepare an article for a newspaper or trade magazine in...

Several million Toyota cars had been warned and then recalled about a floor mat issue that caused the gas pedal to get caught. Then the recall was expanded to more models and years plus the public was informed it was more than a floor mat issue; it was mechanical. Why did Toyota wait so long to tell the public the truth?
