Episode #45:"Intimacy Coordinators"and a New York Governor Fights New #MeToo Allegations - a podcast by Cam and Ewan
from 2021-03-01T15:30
It was a rough week for New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo after two former staffers came forward to complain of sexual harassment. While many cases have come to light amid the #MeToo movement, Cuomo's case has some unique wrinkles that are worth discussing. We dissect his PR approach and explain why, while it may not work as well as he hopes, it could still usher in the PR 2.0 era when facing these kinds of allegations.
Speaking of #MeToo, the movement has sparked an entirely new profession in the film industry. Ewan introduces "intimacy coordinators" which are now used on Hollywood sets and explains how it's symbolic of the changes that still need to be made in other sectors.
Also: the stressful scourge of email and the civil war inside the New York Times and what it means for media.
