Ellen Ratner is the master of Talk--in every format August 2, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Ellen Ratner is the master of Talk--in every format. "Ready, Set, Talk" gives detailed, insider accounts from real experts and newsmakers. Chapter 3 on "Selecting a Spokesperson" is particularly helpful for those who must find a new face for their organization. Chapter 9 on "Crisis Management" provides an excellent, streamlined synthesis of both practical and theoretical perspectives on how to deal with disasters in the media. "Ready, Set, Talk" has earned a place in my library right next to classics such as Roger Ailes "You Are the Message."
