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