PRobecast #72: Obama, Streisand and the risk of transparency

August 29th, 2008 by Todd Van Hoosear

Welcome to episode #72 of PRobecast, Topaz Partners’ weekly podcast exploring the latest developments in the world of social media and public relations! Rob Capra is joined by Todd Van Hoosear, Wendie Larkin and Ann Dalrymple to chat about:

1. Obama needed to score big at the DNC. Biden flopped. How did Obama do?

2. Giving up: it's not just for wimps anymore. Why companies like Circuit City and AMC should just give up control, unlike Babs.

3. Disclosure: Did it help or hurt the Social Media Group and Livingston Communications? We all agree that disclosing the break-up was the right thing to do, but could they have avoided all the publicity, positive and negative, if they'd waited until they were done with the due diligence before announcing the merger?
