Sloppy Reporting
A survey by the American Management Association found that 83 percent of the public relations directors who participated thought that sloppiness on the part of reporters was the major reason for inaccurate stories. Reporters were also faulted for not doing their homework or research before writing a story and not understanding the topics they were writing about.
The same criticisms are echoed by business executives. Most executives agree with the statement "If I talk to the press, I almost invariably get misquoted". Three-fourths of the respondents also agree with the statement "The knowledge base of business reporters leaves a lot to be desired". Other problems with the press, say the executives, are tendencies to sensationalize, to overemphasize the negative, and to make simplistic generalizations.
These surveys point up an important responsibility for you: It is part of your job to educate top executives about how the media operate and what they need to give a fair, objective story.
This education may include training executives to give a 30-second "soundbite" answer to a complex question and even how to handle aggressive reporters. At a more basic level, you have to teach executives that news reports are "first drafts of history" that occasionally get garbled or distorted as they go through several levels of personnel at a newspaper, magazine, or broadcasting outlet.
You also have to take into consideration that many reporters are generalists who have little or no background on the multitude of subjects they are asked to cover. When you are dealing with a reporter who is not familiar with your business or industry, you must explain the subject thoroughly and provide background material. This will help the reporter do a better job, and it gives you a reasonable chance to ensure that the stoгу will be accurate.
