Request for PR help
Monday, October 17, 2005 at 1:02PM Dateline: New Mexico Military Institute, Roswell, New Mexico, October 17, 2005
This may seem like an odd request, but if thereís anyone Iíve interacted with in organizations, commands, offices, think-tanks, foreign governments willing to talk with a newspaper reporter why Iíve been asked to brief at these high levels, hereís your chance.
Steve Oppenheim is working DC PR for Putnam and he can put you in touch with the reporter.* This person is a respected journalist, writing for a major paper.
I know this is an odd request but Iím trying to do my duty by Putnam, which promotes the vision which I think does good things. I realize that the vast majority of the players who invite me into these privileged rooms arenít predisposed to want to discuss what they find attractive about my ideas. Thatís a real problem in being a visionary, a term I embrace because I think it accurately describes what Iím trying to do. To be a visionary is to be ìout there.î And as much as people may value that, asking them to describe to a reporter why they bring me in for interaction is a bit much.
But if youíre out there and youíre comfortable with the notion, please give us a call. You know who you are.
