TL;DR: An unconfirmed account of newsroom AI practices spread through secondary coverage and became accepted as fact. This moment illustrates how quickly accuracy erodes when verification fails and amplification takes over.
TL;DR: Being of service should guide media relations because it is both effective and the right thing to do. Treating journalists like marks and approaching outreach as a game of poker invites manipulation, erodes trust, and ends up hurting the client.
TL;DR: 2025 is still very much on fire. 2026 showed up with a fire extinguisher, good intentions, and mild panic. We are aiming carefully and hoping for the best.
TL;DR: Lived experience can strengthen mental health and recovery communications, but only when consent, dignity, and control remain with the individual. Ethical storytelling prioritizes people over narratives.
TL;DR: Local media plays an outsized role in how communities understand substance use and recovery. Responsible coverage can reduce stigma, clarify complex issues, and build public trust. Poorly framed stories can reinforce myths and silence people who need help.
TL;DR: Quiet-phase fundraising is not a communications blackout. Clear, disciplined messaging builds trust with early donors, aligns internal stakeholders, and prevents confusion before a public launch.
