CARL BYOIR AND FDR

                   Carl Byoir's contributions to the field of public relations are rarely noted in textbooks, even though practitioners use his tools to build some of today's most successful campaigns. A lifetime wrought with prestige and controversy, Carl Byoir may not have moved mountains, but he definitely made a career of motivating people to do it for him.

                    In high school Byoir was a reporter for the Iowa State Register, and by the age of 17 he was city editor of the Waterloo Tribune. He worked his way through the University of Iowa, went to work for the Hearst magazines, and by 1916 had become circulation manager of Cosmopolitan. During World War I he was called to Washington as an associate chairman of the Committee on Public Information and thus helped lead the U.S. government’s propaganda effort in that conflict.
                   After the war, health problems led him to Cuba, where he grew interested in promoting U.S. tourism to Cuba, and this led to a contract with the government of the dictator Gerardo Machado, and the establishment of Byoir’s firm, Carl Byoir and Associates, in New York City in 1930.
                   Byoir’s firm was hired by The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company in 1937, and his campaign ended up repealing the anti-chain store tax laws.
                   Later, Truckers in Pennsylvania wanted to raise the weight limit on trucks to 60,000 pounds to expand their growing businesses. Byoir created unfavorable ads about truckers, and almost overnight the bill was vetoed.However, the railroad companies were not pleased with the outcome and fought back with a lawsuit that became a five year battle. Byoir was sure his company would prevail, but he died shortly before the court decision.

                   As a college student he learned the dynamics of group motivation. As a practictioner, he used that information to change the world. “Carl Byoir may not have moved mountains, but he definitely made a career of motivating people to do it for him.” 

DEALING WITH CYBERSMEARERS

                       Today, most public companies and many private companies face varied threats from individuals using the Internet in ways which harm these businesses or their management. Whether the harmful use appears in a sponsored discussion board or on a special purpose web site, the terms employed for this unwelcome publicity range from the “cybergripe” to the “cybersmear” to the “cyberattack.”

                  The cybergripe typically refers to postings in a customer or shareholder forum in which most of the commentary is negative. The cybersmear refers to more serious cybergripes which are false, defamatory or otherwise actionable. For simplicity, this article will use the term “cybersmear” to encompass the range of negative commentary appearing on the Internet specifically directed against a business.

                  The problem: Many public company discussion boards sink into a routine of rumors and recriminations. Occasionally, some of these rumors are serious enough to affect the stock price. The poster may be attempting to take advantage of these stock swings on the basis of his or her trading position. Beyond the short term effect on stock prices, some postings may accuse management of assorted misdeeds or criminal acts. They may disparage the business or products of the company. And some postings may divulge sensitive business information, whether it relates to sales strategy, customer names or confidential technical information.

                  In early cases involving cyberlibel, companies that believed their reputations had been damaged by anonymous Internet postings tried to get around this problem by suing the underlying Internet Service Providers ("ISPs"). Not only are ISPs clearly identifiable, they also are more likely to have the financial wherewithal to pay damage claims than will many anonymous posters.

Shutterfly has stepped up and is plunking down $23.8 million to buy Kodak's online photo sharing platform called Kodak Gallery. 

                           Kodak Gallery closed on July 2, 2012. Shutterfly is transferring 5 billion photos from the Kodak Gallery to its website.Not everything from the Kodak Gallery will live on in Shutterfly. Projects such as slide shows and custom-made calendars have expired with the Kodak site, as have Kodak Gallery-branded mobile apps.
