Letter to the editor

Should you write a letter to the editor for a bad story or let it die?

This week, crisis communication expert Gerard Braud polls social media to ask, “Should you write a letter to the editor for a bad story, or let it die?” He is awaiting tips from social media’s best public relations experts and corporate communicators. When a journalist misquotes you or says something negative about you or your organization, do you approach the editor or the journalist? Do you run the risk of an even worse story coming out about you? Do you run the risk of ruining your relationship with the media? If you were to go about writing a letter to the editor for a bad story, how would you do it?

These are all things to consider for this week’s discussion question.
