Say Nothing, Say Something, Post Through It’: Reputation Management in an Online World
New York Magazine’s March cover story on Stanford neuroscientist and prolific podcaster Andrew Huberman fueled the ongoing debate about whether PR still matters in an environment of increasingly rapid news cycles. In a social and business landscape defined equally by viral news stories and search engine results/AI, what role do traditional communications tactics play, and what aspects of PR need to be adapted for a modern attention economy?
