Greetings!
My brief, but thoroughly enjoyable career as a print journalist began 25 years ago this month. In that newsroom, the pursuit of "truth" - a subjective quality - was the Holy Grail.
In our most recent blog entry I talk about "perspective" and the pursuit of "truth" a little more, using two recent stories in the local media, here. One story, the obituary of a much-admired community leader, placed a delicate piece of accurate information in its proper perspective. The other, though not inaccurate, lacked some key facts that left the reader with an overall impression that was at best incomplete.

Finally - Here's a recent story from Slate, discussing Bob Woodward's biography of the late John Belushi. The article illustrates perfectly how you can get facts right, but lacking the proper context, get the story very wrong.
Yours in the pursuit of truth - or at least being "not inaccurate."
Best,

 With sequestration looming for February 28, New Harbor Group was hired two weeks before by the Southeastern New England Defense Industry Alliance or SENEDIA. The assignment? Spread the word about the damaging effects of the sequester on the local defense industry.
We immediately began to create a social media infrastructure and cultivate coverage in the local media. Despite the short notice, we enjoyed a great deal of success alerting the media to the issue, defining it on SENEDIA's terms and establishing members of the group as subject matter experts.
Here's a list of some of the coverage we were able to secure, and a great example of what we can do for all our clients, even on very short notice.
