"Right answer, wrong answer, it matters not, your replies are all paper thin. Goodbye" -Origami Princess Peach
There is a distinctive if not overly important (right now) problem with Corporations and the way they communicate with the public. I'd of course say that of any Corporation but today I wanna focus on The Entertainment Industry. Specifically in the only place I feel I can have a say.
I also have to say this is all speculative and based on my experiences with NDAs and Social media clauses in general.It really rather seems what a "Artist" is "Allowed" to say is dictated by The Marketing and PR Firms of any given company, and in turn what they say is overseen by the elusive higherups.
What results in my opinion is a dissonance between what is said to us, and what the truth is. Regardless of its intent.
With a Middleman deliberately tasked with hyping up, apologizing on behalf of, or placating the public. It becomes hard to trust anything a Company's "Voice" says, and when individuals are interviewed I imagine they are very careful with what they say, how they say it and might not always reflect their own views.
This kind of thing might be good to placate and ensure good brand image, but it certainly makes it difficult to trust anything and often leads to misinformation or misleading assumptions on what Artists think versus what the company they work for thinks.
At least that is how I see things working. I don't claim to be an expert.
What do you think? Let me know!
Stay Golden,
