Publicists cater to bloggers because they can play them; bloggers cater to publicists because they want their ads. — © Stephen Rodrick
Publicists cater to bloggers because they can play them; bloggers cater to publicists because they want their ads.
A lot of people are deeply dissatisfied by the diminishing control they have over their lives, because of the way our system of government is set up, to cater to the powerful, cater to the wealthy, cater to the corporations, and not to the individual American citizen.
I know I have the mental capacity of a thousand bloggers, but because of that, my obligation to serve God is also that of a thousand bloggers
I know I have the mental capacity of a thousand bloggers, but because of that, my obligation to serve God is also that of a thousand bloggers.
I'm noticing a lot of the big bloggers who've posted about politics are experiencing an ugly backlash. Readers are angry because they went to the bloggers' sites for a laugh, not a lecture. Again, it's a question of being appropriate for the audience.
Who are these bloggers? They're not trained editors at Vogue magazine. There are bloggers writing recipes that aren't tested that aren't necessarily very good, or are copies of what really good editors have created and done. Bloggers create a kind of a popularity but they are not the experts. We have to understand that.
When a movie is being rolled out, the studio publicists and all our individual publicists get together and come up with bullet points and talking points - 'Make sure you stay away from this,' and 'Don't say that quite that way, because that quote can be taken out of context,' and that kind of thing.
I don't ban bloggers from my shows. I have a separate line: VIP seating for bloggers.
I've had high-powered publicists in my career, and I've had publicists when they've had no power. I've run the gamut.
That's all I ever do, just try and do the best I can and cater to the song, cater to the music.
The reason I hate publicists is because I think if we got rid of them everything would be on equal footing.
Bloggers and stores and publications and brands and houses all need to sort of take a deep breath and relax because no one is going away. The brands aren't going away. The designers, bloggers, publications aren't going away.
I get into all sorts of trouble with my publicists and with newspapers because I won't do photographs.
People want athletes to cater to their image of what an athlete should be, but they also want them to fail so they can feel like their screwups are all right. If I make a priority shift, I'll make it because it's best for me.
Now we've got the cables. We've got talk radio. We've got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers.
Only a few bloggers have the audience and credibility to effectively break stories, pressure the traditional media, incubate new ideas, or raise real money. These influential bloggers are usually sharp, opinionated, and focused on the world 'offline.' They refuse to view events through the solipsistic blinders of their own websites.
You can understand why good publicists go on to run distribution companies: because the creativity involved is complex and nuanced.
