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 loose 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.


CHRIS RYAN SPEAKS AT CALIFORNIA CHIEFS OF 
POLICE CONFERENCE


Media relations and communications expert Chris Ryan shared his knowledge and insight during two speaking engagements at the Annual California Police Chiefs Assoc. conference.

Mr. Ryan spoke about the crucial issues facing police, fire and public safety  executives in the 21st Century. The well attended sessions covered numerous topics included Homeland Security, non-lethal weapons, aggressive news reporting and image management.

Ryan stressed the need for police and other government agencies to face tough issues head-on and speak-out when news coverage is skewed or inaccurate.

"Law enforcement has been a victim too long. It's time to standup and fight back when false allegations about your department," said Ryan.

Law enforcement executives in attendance peppered Ryan with questions about building relationships with the media, selecting a PIO (public information officer), TASER®, officer involved shootings and more. 

Mr. Ryan is available for crisis consulting, agency training & speaking engagements. Call 602-840-2959 or e-mail for details.


 

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.
