The Hartley Tweet: A Mini-Controversy, Or A Hint of the Future of Advocacy?

Tags: , , , , — Filed under: Media and Social Media — Roy Temple @ 11:45 am

Yesterday, Gregg Hartley, the Vice Chairman here at Cassidy & Associates, tweeted his frustration with a New York Times story regarding a Cassidy client.  The Blog of Legal Times put up a post about the tweet and cross- posted it to Law.com.

This morning, other bloggers, including the folks over at The Business Insider,  picked up the topic and began a discussion about how social media should be used in the advocacy space.

Maybe this is just a mini-controversy fueled by someone tweeting out of frustration over what they saw as unfair treatment of a client and the press being curious because it happened to involve a fellow journalist.  Then again, in the new- Washington of President Obama, perhaps more and more advocacy will begin to take place in the public domain.

Isn’t that a good thing?
