Appreciate The Power Of Rumor, Often Malicious, No Matter How Preposterous, Within The Local Populations You Are Seeking To Help.

Unfortunately, The Attitude Of Many Towards The Press, Humanitarians Included And Especially Government Workers, Is Often One Of Suspicion, If Not Outright Fear.

Humanitarian Missions Are Little Different From Any Other Public Enterprise, Diplomacy Included, Which Is Susceptible Of Misinterpretation By The Public, Hence Ultimately Of Failure.

My View Is Different. Public Relations Are A Key Component Of Any Operation In This Day Of Instant Communications And Rightly Inquisitive Citizens.
