From Batman to Superman, we started with our comic book heroes before shifting to our real-life musical legends none other than Billy Joel (a shared and much loved favourite). Anthony recently met Paul McCartney on a flight, and we found ourselves wondering what you’d even say if you met the greatest of all time. (“Hello,...
For more than three decades, Alan Partridge has been the ultimate broadcasting survivor and my broadcasting hero. During media training sessions with as Alan would say “Captains of industry or politicians,” we show an introductory clip reel of Alan’s finest broadcasting moments to calm a beating heart of a client. I am not sure how...
When the news broke on Friday afternoon that Martin Mansergh had passed away, many of us were left in shock. It was hard to believe. I first met Martin during his time working with Taoiseach Charles Haughey. A remarkable wordsmith, Martin championed many of Haughey’s great speeches. His monumental collection, “The Spirit of the Nation,”...
A chilling new low in Cyber attacks. Hackers now claim they have stolen pictures, names and addresses of 8,000 children from the Kido nursery chain in UK this morning. Eighteen sites in and around London plus more in the US and India have been targeted. The cyber attack gang says they hold not only children’s...
Where Have All the Candidates Gone? I have been around long enough to have worked on four Irish presidential campaigns.

RTÉ, Ireland’s state broadcaster, my former newsroom employer too, is no stranger to controversy, but its latest promotional campaign for its trusted news and current affairs division has caused an internal storm. The row focuses on the big budget, the hiring shinny hair actors and the arrival of plants that move in and star in...
“Why didn’t they get media training?” It’s a question that echoes across social media every time an interview goes pear shaped. We say it all the time and you hear it from pundits, fans, and even in the comment sections, “oh dear that person clearly wasn’t prepared”. However, sometimes being too media trained can make...
Every day you hear about a geopolitical bombshell from President Trump: Can We Handle Four More Years? Can you take four more years of Donald Trump? You might have to. The media faces a critical question: Will they cover everything Trump says and does for another term? His first few months of his presidency has...
Marks and Spencer’s recent cyber-attack reminds us of a hard truth, it’s not just about the breach, it’s about how you communicate afterwards. Let’s face it, crisis communications is really emotional for everyone. As we all know, in a crisis, silence damages trust faster than hackers do. The silence at Marks went on far too...
