What Was Sandusky&#8217;s Lawyer Thinking?<br \/>\n=====================================<\/p>\n<p>Crisis Communications 101 teaches that before you agree to a<br \/>\nmedia interview, you must anticipate every killer question you&#8217;ll<br \/>\nbe asked.<\/p>\n<p>Create a well-thought-out response to each one, and rehearse<br \/>\nuntil you can answer each question confidently.<\/p>\n<p>Criminal Law 101 teaches that your client who is charged with a<br \/>\ncrime has the right to remain silent.<\/p>\n<p>It was disaster on both fronts last night when Bob Costas of<br \/>\nNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Rock Center&#8221; interviewed disgraced Penn State football<br \/>\ncoach Jerry Sandusky, charged with sexually abusing children.<\/p>\n<p>Sandusky denied being a pedophile but said he had a serious lapse<br \/>\nin judgment when he showered with young boys.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt, in which Sandusky was interviewed by phone,<br \/>\nwith his lawyer seated next to Costas.<\/p>\n<p>Costas: &#8220;Are you sexually attracted to young boys, to underage<br \/>\nboys?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sandusky: &#8220;Am I sexually attracted to underage boys&#8230;sexually<br \/>\nattracted? No, you know, I enjoy young people. I love to be<br \/>\naround them&#8230;.I&#8230;I&#8230;But no, I&#8217;m not sexually attracted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until this morning that NBC released the full<br \/>\ntranscript of the Costas interview, which is far more damaging<br \/>\nthan just that sound bite. You can read it here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120419205017\/http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com:80\/sports\/college\/jerry-sandusky-i-seeking-young-person-sexual-helped-article-1.977730\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/sports\/college\/jerry-sandusky-i-seeking-young-person-sexual-helped-article-1.977730#ixzz1dniwDav7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>PR experts and criminal defense attorneys said the interview will<br \/>\nwork against Sandusky in his criminal case and in civil lawsuits<br \/>\nthat will most likely be filed against him.<\/p>\n<p>A USA Today poll asked, &#8220;Did Jerry Sandusky help himself with the<br \/>\nCostas interview?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As of this afternoon, 85 percent of the 4,026 respondents said<br \/>\nno. I agree, and I was surprised the percentage wasn&#8217;t higher.<\/p>\n<p>=====================================<br \/>\n2. Worst Way to Monetize Your Blog<br \/>\n=====================================<\/p>\n<p>If you want to make money from your blog, don&#8217;t assume that<br \/>\nquality copy alone can make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>You must be proactive and do things like go after sponsors, use<br \/>\nGoogle AdSense ads, and turn blog content into information<br \/>\nproducts that you can sell.<\/p>\n<p>And you can do it all without aggravating your readers.<\/p>\n<p>On Black Friday, while the masses are at the shopping malls<br \/>\nspending money, I&#8217;ll be teaching Publicity Hounds how to make<br \/>\nmoney by blogging.

Your Own TV Show<br \/>\n=====================================<\/p>\n<p>How much more credibility would you have with your audience and<br \/>\ncustomers if you had your own TV show?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a powerful way to deliver your message, heighten your<br \/>\nplatform and really make a name for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Wine expert Gary Vaynerchuck has his own WineLibraryTV show on<br \/>\nthe web.

Help This Hound<br \/>\n======================================<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s Help this Hound question is from Barbara Roy, a<br \/>\ncommunications specialist in Oakland City, IN:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I need ideas on how to promote an upcoming charity car raffle in<br \/>\n2012 through the Mad Mac Foundation, a group that sponsors<br \/>\neducational programs for at-risk youth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Proceeds from the raffle will be used to get teenagers, who<br \/>\nillegally race their cars on streets, into the classroom where<br \/>\nthey can learn how to build tuner cars from the ground up. The<br \/>\ntraining will help them transfer their skills, which they&#8217;ve been<br \/>\nusing illegally, into career paths that might include auto<br \/>\nengineering and design, auto repair, and creating video games<br \/>\nthat involve cars. The curriculum includes science, technology,<br \/>\nengineering and math.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two cars will be given away during the July raffle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The winter months will be spent on materials prep and strategy.<br \/>\nBut beginning in January, we&#8217;ll focus more on going after<br \/>\nsponsors and businesses to carry the raffle tickets. I could<br \/>\nreally use recommendations on how to gain mass awareness for this<br \/>\nnationwide event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will have branding, messaging and content on the website by<br \/>\nJanuary, as well as a Facebook event page. Can your Hounds offer<br \/>\ntheir best ideas on how to promote the raffle and the training?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Publicity Hound says:<\/p>\n<p>I can think of so many ways to reach this niche audience,<br \/>\nparticularly through social media.
