PR Institute of Australia’s video show re-edited to remove participant
The first episode of the PR Institute of Australia’s PRTV has been replaced with a re-edited version minus one of those who took part.
As Mumbrella reported last week, the first episode of PRTV went live on the the association’s web site and on YouTube on Friday. However, after debate on Mumbrella, it was taken down at about 6pm and replaced with a version that did not feature Anthony Tregoning.
The original had featured the boss of FCR answering a question about whether his company recommended to clients that should engage with social media “such as blogs, LinkedIn and Facebook”. In it he replied:
“Basically no. Because they tend to be used by people who are trying to undermine the company.”
Storm in a teacup.
probably all a pre-meditated PR stunt to get column inches

Agree. It’s either that or gross ineptitude for not vetting it first. Still a content-free, steaming pile.

Has anyone taken the time to watch the first episode of PRTV? I would be interested in you’re thoughts.
I can not remember a time when I was more bored and less enthused about a topic that actually interestes me. What is with the audio? presenter? interviewees? background? theme lighting? Amateur vidoes are better to watch, even when they are scratchy, wobbly and have crappy audio.
OMG that is possibly the worst set I have seen.

No Silla, you’ve got it all wrong… its supposed to look like it was shot in the 80’s… i think.
This is appalling. PRIA has a lot to answer for if this is the best it can do.
I totally agree Silla – I tuned out after the first speaker! They obviously wanted it to look and feel like the 7:30 Report (which might I add is a poor attempt!).
