Welcome to our world

Keith Jackson

Wherever we went searching for a suitable title for this blog (The Well, Shades of Grey, Ding Dong Bell Pussy’s In The…. you get it), someone had been there first. So we went for something prosaic.

Not that Shades of Grey would have been at all an ill-conceived masthead. The tagline to the 2006 movie of the same name put it this way: "There is no right and wrong, there is no black and white, it's all just Shades of Grey." While we don’t totally agree with that sentiment, dealing with perception, bias and opinion as much as we do in our profession, we find a lot of the information does manifest as a shade of grey. No matter how thoroughly you search for absolutes, they seem to vaporise.

This blog will look at current events through the prism of public relations. The staff at Jackson Wells will try to cut though the perception, bias and opinion, through the tricks and tomfoolery, and through the spin and the facades. Let’s see how we go.

Many thanks for this; a superb job, so characteristic of your vigorous mind! I have read only two or three pieces at the moment, and I must felicitate you again on the range, warmth and depth of your thinking.

Great stuff, not least for folks like us living overseas. This single web site provides a better feel for what's happening in Australia than the whole of the New Zealand media. Look forward to coming back to it again and again.

Wonderful comments Keith. Keep up the good work.

Wonderful reading! It's like an old butcher shop - very meaty with a bit of sawdust on the floor.
