Fake press conference reflects FEMA’s culture November 5, 2007

Oh FEMA, not again!  After reading the news of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s faux press conference held Oct. 23, I couldn’t believe that this organization still doesn’t have its priorities in place!  The saddest part about it all, at least for us communicators, is that we’re the ones receiving the bad reputation.  Let me make it clear to you skeptics out there — this does not happen in every organization, nor is every PR professional out to deceive the public.
