1 ' "•••' 'The voice ofthe campus" Editorials February 20, 1997 Bad PR for Crandon mine Public relations can be a force for good or for evil. (So its late patriarch Edward Bernays decided when he discovered his book Crystallizing Public Opinionhad supplied part ofthe blueprint for the Nazi Holocaust) Many on the Post staff are pursuing educations in PR for the healthiest of motives; we harbor no doubts of its frequent use for lefty ends. But the dark side ofthe profession is always much in evidence, and the huge effort to spin sympathyfor the Crandon mine shows the flacks at their worst. Th* PR effort on behalf of Exxon's mine is most visible through the cloying, distorted ads that have emerged whitewashing and greenwashing the filtiiy mining proposal. The latest has a Milwaukee unionist speaking up for the mining industry, paid to appear, of course, by a company whom anti-mine activists justifiably dub "one of the most brutally and lethally anti-union corporations in the world." But behind the ads, a much wider effort is underway from PR practitioners in the Crandon Mining Company's employ. Wood Communications Group is one of many firms thathas Exxon as a client. The UW Greens office in Madison reports receiving a call from the Group seeking confidential information about planned activities. True to the industry's one-sided ethics, the firm refused to reveal the purpose of die call, but explicidy and duplicitously denied any relationship with Exxon. One area of PR is governmental relations, winning over elected officials like the Town Board of Nashville, in the mining hot zone and now resolutely pro-Exxon. The citizens ofthe town, meanwhile, are still mostly opposed, enough to initiate recall petitions against their sellout Board. LETTER Meanwhile, the proponents of a north woods mining moratorium have also been subject, they say, to heightened levels of surveillance and harassment over the past months, exposing them to a motley cast of new characters.
