Online Public Relations Thoughts

Today will be one of media frenzy in Miami as former president Trump is arraigned. The chances of Trump being legally processed without protests are dim.  Reporters from the world over are ready for anything, including violence.  One must ask how the government plans to conduct a fair trial with such intense media coverage.  It won't be easy and picking a fair-minded jury pool will be a challenge.  There are times when communications are not helpful, and this is one.  Journalists jostling one another for a better position to see him entering or leaving the courthouse are infantile.  TV reporters doing standups in front of the building provide little to viewers since the action is all inside and cameras are banned in the courtroom.  But they want to be there just in case.  Such is the nature of a free press.
