Steve, we met when we were both on the advisory board for Dance Marathon
(Children's Hosptital). Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply to our
discussion group. I think there is still a bit of damage to the profession,
though, when the term "spin doctor" is tossed about on the air without the
good explanation you've provided here. The viewing public is likely to
paint all public relations persons with the same brush (or assume that WBIR
is doing so). Thanks again for responding.
