4.27.09 ISSUE BRIEF
An old war tactic has found a secure place in the communications industry: The Rapid Response Network. Hundreds of PR professionals around the country meet every morning to discuss the most damaging news to a client's product and how the team should respond. Oftentimes, it appears that there is more bad news than people to respond so the team must determine which stories are most important to address.
For those of you working for on on behalf of a client that works in the renewable energy industry, being under attack is commonplace. But what many don't realize, is that there are 10 influential front groups that are pushing out misinformation on a daily basis. These groups' activities should be monitored and responses to their work should be at the top of your response list.
1. The Heartland Institute
2. Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI)
3. Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT)
4. American Enterprise Institute (AEI)
5. CATO Institute
6. Center for North American Energy Security (CNAES)
7. American Council on Science and Health (ACSH)
