Défendre l’huile de palme, promouvoir le nucléaire, vanter les OGM ou le gaz de schiste... Aucune tâche ne semble rebuter le petit monde des cabinets de conseil en lobbying et en relations publiques. Ces firmes souvent peu connues jouent un rôle clé pour asseoir l’influence des grandes entreprises et des milieux d’affaires, à l’abri des regards et des mécanismes démocratiques. Un nouveau rapport du Corporate Europe Observatory lève le voile sur ces mercenaires de la communication et de l’influence, qui (...)

Governments ignore issues when the media ignores them. And the media ignores them because … well, there’s a question with a thousand answers, many of which involve power. But one reason is the complete failure of perspective in a de-skilled industry dominated by corporate press releases, photo ops and fashion shoots, where everyone seems to be waiting for everyone else to take a lead. The media makes a collective non-decision to treat this catastrophe as a non-issue, and we all carry on as if it’s not happening.

At the climate summit in Paris in December the media, trapped within the intergovernmental bubble of abstract diplomacy and manufactured drama, will cover the negotiations almost without reference to what is happening elsewhere. The talks will be removed to a realm with which we have no moral contact. And, when the circus moves on, the silence will resume. Is there any other industry that serves its customers so badly?

I’ve often wondered how the media would respond when eco-apocalypse struck. I pictured the news programmes producing brief, sensational reports, while failing to explain why it was happening or how it might be stopped. Then they would ask their financial correspondents how the disaster affected share prices, before turning to the sport. As you can probably tell, I don’t have an ocean of faith in the industry for which I work. What I did not expect was that they would ignore it.
