News Dissector Danny Schechter applauds public relations specialist, publisist Ilene Proctor

From the Media:


Recently I have been connected with a new PR powerhouse from the left coast, Ilene Proctor. I can't forget her because she is quite simply ON THE CASE relentlessly, persistently, shaking things up and following up. Every day on issues ranging from voting integrity to investigative breakthroughs pumping bloggers we should read, and issues we should care about.

She is rapid fire, on target, and, unlike Dick Cheney, rarely misfires. I don't really know her well, but I do know she does have an impact, because journalists like myself pay attention.

Professeur de sociologie à l'Université de Paris VIII et
Auteur de Voicing dissidence. Artistes américaine et la guerre en Irak, Routledge, 2010

“J’ai rencontré Ilene Proctor lorsque, fraîchement débarquée de Paris à Los Angeles en 2004, je peinais à trouver dans les mondes de l’art et du spectacle les repères indispensables à la recherche que
j’entreprenais sur les artistes mobilisés contre la guerre en Irak.

“Par ses précieux conseils et sa connaissance fine de ces milieux, manifestement enracinés dans l’expérience et l’investissement humain, elle a apporté une contribution significative au déchiffrage de ces univers, objet de mes récentes publications. Je lui dois donc un très sincère et cordial merci!”

“I met Ilene Proctor when, just arrived from Paris in Los Angeles in 2004, I was having a hard time
finding the necessary landmarks in the arts and entertainment industries to conduct the research that I
was starting on artists’ response to the war in Iraq.

“With her precious advice and her sharp knowledge of this milieu, clearly rooted into experience and
personal commitment, she made a significant contribution to the understanding of these professional
worlds, analyzed in my recent publications. I owe her a very sincere and cordial ‘thank you!’”

Ilene,
Thanks for connecting me with Paul Krugman. Your work paid off. Krugman has given me a big boost in today's Times - as the man who first broke the story of the fix in Florida 2000 and the man about to break The Big One in Harper's next week.

Your accomplishments have beaten the big time, big-bill, PR firms to death. My gratitude to you.

Thanks,
Greg
