joel Last week we posed the question whether or not Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott should hire a Communications Director to better manage the public relations priorities of City Hall. A majority of respondents voted yes, he should have someone manage his message better. However, the low amount of those answering the poll speaks volumes about the ambivalence over the issue, and perhaps city policy…which again, speaks to the need for someone to communicate the city’s relevance! Oh well, next question:
This week was an unprecedented one in the financial markets. One investment bank goes bankrupt, another swallowed up, the government takes over Fannie, Freddie and AIG. And the stock market moves 1500 points in both directions. The general media providers leaned heavily on their financial specialists to explain all the complexity. How do you think they did?
On a scale from 1 to 5, how well are you being informed by the coverage of the current financial crisis?
- 3 - I have a basic knowledge of the situation from the coverage (47%, 9 Votes)
- 4 - The media has done a good job of keeping me informed on the events (26%, 5 Votes)
- 5 - The coverage has helped me thoroughly understand this complex situation (16%, 3 Votes)
- 1 - I'm clueless, the media has been no help (5%, 1 Votes)
- 2 - What I'm watching and reading just confuses me further (6%, 1 Votes)
Total Voters: 19
