If you're doing your work with dignity, respect, and professionalism what the media has to say shouldn't matter. I also agree with the others.

Good business is always good business. Our credibility, professionalism, and the developed relationships will always outlast media speculation and the gossip it produces. The most important aspect to overcoming any negative professional dilemma is to fold 1. Have a plan of productivity 2. Be willing to commit to the longevity of seeing it come to pass In other words "write the vision make it plain-so they maybe able to run that read it.

As long as staff are confident that they are providing the best service to their customers and that they are treating customers with great respect, it doesn't matter what the media has to say. Always remember that the work you you do will speak for you. I agree with the comments above.

I have worked for an agency who has been hit very hard by the press in recent years. What I learned is that you keep plugging in. Be consistent in the service you provide and the way you treat your customers. Sometimes this event turns out to be an opportunity to rally staff and stakeholders and revive the agency through new ideas and strategies. I too would agree with the comments above.

I have learned that I should always treat the individual sitting at my desk in the same manner I would want to be treated if I was sitting in their chair.

Your suggestion to fall back on your service record and relationships is an excellent strategy to prepare for any bad publicity that may come.

It is doubtful that the press will get the "whole" story out there.
