Case 8: Save a Mistake Through the Media


Hi guys...!
in this post I will discuss about the media's role and relationship with the company. Apparently the media does not only showing the bad news of corporation, but also, there are times when the media used the company to cover their mistakes.

This case not only occurs in the medium of television or radio, but also it can  occur in magazines and newspapers. The power of the media is determining the existence of a company. There are companies that did not hesitate to pay the media to cover their mistakes, so that efforts to improve the public image of the company.

Recently-chairman 'News Corp' Rupert Murdoch, British parliamentary committee examined wiretapping scandal. Company accused of deliberately blind eye to cases that occurred in the media empire under his leadership. Murdoch company in the UK, News International, is also accused of deliberately giving misleading information to lawmakers about the size of the phone tapping case.

News Corp - which already has a stake in BskyB - Want to buy all the shares of the TV station and the case is a matter of controversy for fear of inhibiting the diversity of media.
But Murdoch, immediately made a statement through his media highly influential in the world to deny all charges that are associated with him.

"It was entirely a myth, that I use the influence of The Sun or political influence to obtain favorable treatment," he said.

Murdoch choose any way to protect himselves and the company that he led to keep getting positive attention from the public.

From this case we can take a lesson that the media can be made in any tool to destroy the company and through the media the company can cover and safe their mistakes.
