Steve Crescenzo, Steve Lubetkin, and Jen McClure joined host Shel Holtz to discuss a range of topics with an overarching connecting theme: trust and its decline. This week’s stories include…

  • Sean Spicer, the White House Press Secretary, held his first press briefing, which violated “the top two tenets of being a good PR person,” according to one analysis.
  • It turns out a little negative buzz can have a big impact on how people perceive a brand despite great advertising and marketing.
  • The 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer is out and the numbers are not good.
  • Dan  York reports on the new video capabilities and advertising opportunities in the new JetPack update for WordPress, along with a feature that didn’t even make the announcement: The ability to publish 360-degree videos.
  • The New York Times has released an internal report on what it needs to do to continue adapting to the digital news world (and it includes more direct involvement of readers).
  • Unilever released a study on advertising stereotypes. The results are fascinating, but so is the fact that Unilever researched the issue in the first place.
  • Why (you may ask) is it intriguing that Unilver surveyed the population on gender stereotypes in advertising? It makes sense when you hear about a study that found online sentiment is better for companies that talk about their own CSR activities.
  • A school district fired a staff member for a tweet that should have gotten her a promotion.
