Best PR for sharks....


.... is to get serious and environmentally engaged journalists interested in the plight of these endangered creatures. Professional writers are the ones who can make a difference by informing and educating their readers.


They need good PR professionals, badly!

Here we have a good example how this can be done: Juliet Eilperin, "Washington Post" reporter, took a bunch of journalists on a shark tagging tour with Neil Hammerschlag of the University of Miami.

Read this one account of the trip, put together by Todd Woody, a "Forbes" editor.

Good job - excellent, far-reaching multiplier effect!

And dig this: A very well researched new book on sharks written by Juliet Eilperin. Highly readable, highly recommended!

You are so right Wolf, I was recently told by a German TV station that they would like to talk to me about sharks but only after another attack. It's sad but that's what the media is interested in: blood and seriously injured people. We do need good PR for sharks but will we ever get it?
