TWITTER KEEPS
BEAK CLOSED
"Twitterbility" tested with AG Subpoena |
|
Harrisburg, Penn. -- Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett has
issued a subpoena to
Twitter seeking user names and
information. Corbett wants details on people that have tweeted
insider and critical comments about his administration and
gubernatorial campaign.
Twitter is expected to fight the subpoena tooth and nail to protect
the anonymity of user's postings on the popular micro-blogging
website.
"Twitterbility is on the line,"
says crisis management expert
Chris Ryan. "Twitter's credibility
with users is a crucial part of their success and they can't afford
to lose it."
Ryan predicts Corbett will
withdraw his subpoena within a couple of weeks.
Update:
Pennsylvania Attorney General abandons attempt to subpoena Twitter
over user comments.

POLICE & FIRE IMAGE MANAGEMENT |
|
 |
|
PHOENIX - It can be said that the image
of most agencies in a democracy are managed almost entirely by
the media. Just as the media print and broadcast ideas and
impressions of Hollywood celebrities and public officials, so
too will it put forth the image of police and fire agencies. The
credo of the working journalist is to hold accountable those in
positions of power, and to keep a close eye on the rights of the
underdog.
Nevertheless, much of the
media interpretations can be criticized as being grossly biased
for the purpose of generating controversy and sales.
As the image of law enforcement and sometimes the fire service
is often quite literally under the gun, it is wise for law
enforcement agencies to develop their own media management
systems and, in so doing, offer accurate information that sheds
positive light on the role of these critical agencies in our
society.
