In your discussion of PR folks “becoming the story,” you touched on the story of Joann Killeen and Nadya Suleman. That situation fascinates me, and in the case of the death threats, troubles me.
I wrote recently about how, in the court of law, most people are entitled to professional legal counsel. What about, though, the cases in which people are thrust into the court of public opinion? I don’t think the entitlement is the same (in law its necessary; in public opinion, it’s a bit of a luxury), but aside from certain examples of blatant opportunism, how can people find fault (and threaten death upon) PR professionals who are offering the important service they provide?
