MMC 1000: Chapter 12: Public Relations
This week’s reading in the Rodman text deals with public relations, so I’d like you you to respond to the following questions regarding BP’s public relations image since the Gulf oil spill almost two years ago:
1) Has BP done enough to repair its image? If so, what are some of the ways it has gotten the public to think of it in more favorable terms? Is public relations useful? How did it help or hurt BP? Would you vacation on the Gulf coast?
I believe BP did a sufficient job in taking the necessary steps to avoid forever tarnishing their name and image after the Gulf Oil Spill. While they took a big hit for the better part of the year the public eye has long moved on to new topics and scandals.
By doing as much as possible to fix the problem as well as informing the public to its efforts by using radio, print and television advertisements and aiding local small business’ in the recovery they were able to avoid a potentially huge disaster.
Hopefully the oil industry is held to higher safety and environmental protection standards from now on.
The oil spill would not prevent me from vacationing along the coast and I plan to visit Tampa and its beaches this summer
