|  I am convinced that dealing intelligently with the press is of the greatest importance to the success and effectiveness of a humanitarian mission. | | Appreciate the power of rumor, often malicious, no matter how preposterous, within the local populations you are seeking to help. | | Well I just figure any man who risks his neck to save a dog's life isn't going to kill someone for gold teeth. | | In my experience, problems most frequently arise from those who report for television, with little field experience in your area but an insatiable appetite for a sound bite. | | Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise, diplomacy included, which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public, hence ultimately of failure. | | Unfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear. | | My view is different. Public relations are a key component of any operation in this day of instant communications and rightly inquisitive citizens. |
