AP Slams New York Times For Claiming Scoop on BP Story

The Associated press is steaming mad at the New York Times for claiming to have broken a big story on the Deepwater horizon story. It turns out that all of the “exclusive” news in the Times’ story appeared in AP stories awhile back. The dirty little secret of journalism is that terms like “exclusive” and “first” and “news breaking” are thrown about quite promiscuously by the media.
My favorite is when a politician who does 10 TV interviews a day is seen on a cable news show and the graphic says “exclusive.” Well, obviously that interview is exclusive to that media outlet at that moment because it’s not a live feed at a press conference. But if the politician is saying the same thing he said on 10 other interviews that day, it’s not very exclusive.

BP plans to have a movie made about the oil spill in the gulf, but will this movie be truthful or a ploy to gain some good press?
BP to Commission Film About Oil Spill

Hmm…this can’t end well. BP had an uncanny knack for ruining not only the environment but their reputation as well. According to the Times, PB claims to want the video just for internal uses. Something tells me it will get public airing and the reviews won’t be pretty. BP should spend less time creating controlled media and instead try to focus on their messages to the rest of the media.

New BP CEO Takes Up Where Tony Hayward Left off–with Foot in Mouth
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Uncategorized on October 26, 2010
BP’s new CEO Bob Dudley has been on the job for a short time and thinks he has uncovered the culprit in their crisis–the news media! What an imbecile! Blaming the media for leaking 52,000 barrels a oil a day for month after you said you were leaking 5,000 barrels a day is not going to work. Read more here.
Sound bites on BP capping Gulf oil well – media training, crisis communications
Posted by TJ Walker in advertising, Analysis, Communications, Crisis Communications, Media Training on September 19, 2010
The BP Gulf oil well may be proclaimed officially dead today, but the image of BP being the worst corporate crisis communicators will live on into the 22nd Century. Long after the oil stains have left the beaches of the Gulf, the stains of communications incompetence and foot-in-mouth disease will forever taint BP, Tony Hayward, and all of those involved with this fiasco. -TJ Walker
Short take–BP looks for new spokesperson
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, CEOs/Financial, Communications, Crisis Communications, Media, Media Training on August 2, 2010
BP should look for someone who can say three things:
1. Here’s what we are doing to clean up the spill.
2. Here’s what we are doing to compensate people and organizations we have harmed.
3. Here’s what we are doing to make our business a lot safer so we never have big spills again.
And then has the discipline to keep his or her mouth shut!
