Media Monitoring News March 2011: Issue 2 Best PR Articles + PR Job Openings & Meetings 
Corporate Killers of CreativityCyberAlert BlogWhy can some companies get consistently better products and creative services than their competitors? (See article on Apple below) Often, as in the case of Apple Computer (see article below) it's the corporate approach to innovation and creativity that distinguishes wildly successful companies. From product research and development to operations and communications, the way companies nurture creativity often predicts long-term corporate success. Corporate Killers of Creativity, the first in a series of three articles on Managing Creativity in Business, offers an amusing analysis of management approaches and personalities that assassinate creativity within a business environment. 10 Ways to Think Different — Inside Apple's Cult-like CultureBNET"Think Different" was the slogan of Apple — used to differentiate itself from the PC world. In fact, Steve Jobs did build a distinctive corporate culture that "thinks different". 10 Ways to Think Different synthesizes "the Apple way" to develop products, people, design strategies, customer service and most anything else to make a successful business. It's the type of article that you can print out and save for guidance years into the future. The Legal Magic Bullet That Protects Twitter And YelpPaid ContentYelp and Twitter both get thousands of complaints a month, often asking for material to be taken down that is allegedly defamatory or otherwise illegal. They almost never comply. The Legal Magic Bullet That Protects Twitter and Yelp summarizes the presentations of the general counsels of both companies speaking at a Silicon Valley event. The attorneys praised the U.S law that protects their businesses from lawsuits based on frivolous speech. Report of the Advertising Value Equivalency (AVE) Task ForceInstitute for Public RelationsIn the event you have clients or managers requesting you use AVE as a PR metric, show them the Report of the Advertising Value Equivalency (AVE) Task Force (issued in October 2010). The task force shoots down AVE as a valid PR metric. You can also see the news release announcing the findings. In Principle #5 of the Barcelona Declaration of Measurement Principles, the Institute for Public Relations, Public Relations Society of America and the International Communications Consultancy Organization declared that: "Advertising Value Equivalents (AVEs) do not measure the value of public relations and do not inform future activity; they measure the cost of media space and are rejected as a concept to value public relations." Biggest Tech PR DisastersPC MagazineIf you follow the PR gaffs of major companies, the list (in a slide show) of Biggest Tech PR Disasters will be pretty familiar. Most, like Apple's antenna problem, hardly dented the company's reputation. For the most part, the established brands recovered quickly. Lesson: Test, test, test before releasing new products or making policy changes.
