Some Journalists Are Just Not Cut Out for PR
From Roy Greenslade: “Good journalism, John, but rather poor PR“
Proof that some journalists are just not cut out for PR. John MacLeod, an outspoken columnist with the Scottish Daily Mail, was hired a month ago as a public relations consultant by the Western Isles health board. One of his first acts was to write a report in which he accused local GPs of being “vain and greedy” and having egos the size of Clisham, the highest peak in the Western Isles. It leaked, and amid the consequent uproar MacLeod has quit his new job. (Via The Scotsman - Scotland)
