Jack Schafer at Slate magazine has written a piece titled "[http://www.slate.com/id/2128429|The Exorcism of the New York Times]" in which he calls on the Times to publish a full account of what went wrong with Miller's reporting on the Iraq WMD beat. The newspaper has recovered from early embarrassments such as the [[Jayson Blair]] scandal "because it published detailed accounts showing readers where and how it went wrong," he writes. However, "Miller continues to haunt the New York Times two and a half years after her Iraq work was widely discredited, because the paper has yet to document how she botched the story of the decade and catalog the role she played in the current White House imbroglio."

PepsiCo already partnered with the "National Urban League, the National Council of La Raza and the fitness organization America On the Move Foundation to get its healthy lifestyles message out to African-American and Latino consumers".
PepsiCo can claim 70% of their sales come from healthy food, they are the one who put the label. I'm not sure soda, even diet, and potato chips, even baked, are that healthy.
The smart spot remains the company headquarters : Purchase, NY.

To see this story in my weekly prwatch
newsletter, was not a surprise.
I am glad to read that it got some
much needed attention from the media
though. This "looking the other way"
tactic, that journalists have become
very good at was halted with this
particular staged event.
It is definitely not a new thing,
"staging events."
But, I agree with some of the above
responses, it is not acceptable to
use our troops in the way they are
being used.
I am a former "journalist in training"
that was stationed at Ft. Meade and
going through the program to be a PR
person or a Sgt. Lombardo. I realized
what was "up ahead" in my career
and failed out of the program on
purpose. I then asked for a chapter
and got out with an Honorable Discharge.
I am glad to be a civilian again.
I made a promise to myself that I would
continue doing PR, through my own
pursuits. Mainly because I owe it to
my fellow soldiers still serving this
country, and protecting my freedom and
rights.
I am finishing my masters degree in PR
and I have started my own PR company.
Ethics are extremely important to me
and reading stories like this only
fuel my fire to strive for excellence
in my PR efforts.
I am happy to help out "Operation
Truth," on any level I can.
Thanks Sheldon for blogging on this.

Since CSR is really PR, it's perfectly understandable that corporations wouldn't want governments in charge of it. For one thing, governments always try to do PR on the cheap. (Well, the Bushies are a notable exception, but then, they're really more corporation than government in any case.) Corporations seem to prefer that notorious cheapskates run social welfare programs, and leave them to spend freely on manipulating public opinions. Nathaniel Wander
