The Flack

This weblog attempts to shine a brighter light on the subtle role public relations plays in politics, culture, media, business and sports. Through greater transparency, the author hopes to make the profession better understood and perhaps more widely appreciated.

Once again, the scrappy Murdochian NYC tabloid bests the big boys by breaking the billion-dollar blockbuster news of acquisition talks between NBC Universal and Dreamworks SKG. It almost doesn’t matter that the New York Post continues to bleed red (state) ink, the newsroom (and biz staffer Tim Arango) must be pleased as punch today. Even the venerable Wall Street Journal gave credit where credit was due. BTW - I wouldn’t be surprised if that lead came from RM himself, who’s fond of strolling through the newsroom.
