I just think it is deliberate at this point. So, it is not on his calendar as an official engagement yet photos are posted on the official DRF social media. Makes no sense. I give up. Just like visiting the national team should have been on his calendar, even if after the fact. Like I said, it just feels deliberate. (same goes for Mary btw). And no, I am not wearing a tin hat...I am simply seeing a pattern re M&F here.
Yes, it's pretty self-evident that they have meetings, briefings, go to seminars, meet people of interest, visit their protections, go fact finding etc.
And a lot of that is probably more profitable on a day to day basis if there is no press around - but at least write about it afterwards!
I'm more than certain that the DRF would get an even larger and more interested following if they covered their day to day activities like it was a blog. It would also give them a considerable control over information and news.
Just like the horse-less carriages the Internet is not just a passing craze.
Because, alas, the dust has settled deep on the PR office.
Whether it's because the office is not allowed to use it's full potential or whether it's down to lethargy is anyone's guess.
Personally I think it's down to what we in DK call "vanetænkning" = something like habitual-mindset.
Or what we in Jutland and in dialect (it emphasize the statement) say: "Sån har vi ållti' gawn her å æ sted" = We've always done it like that in this here place.
And I think M&F haven't got the heart or the authority to carry out the necessary changes and reforms, both in regards to the staff and how to approach things in a more modern manner.
The DRF press office has gone from being pretty good back in 2010 to now being old fashioned and in dire need of a serious update.
M&F are out there doing the heavy lifting and you would not know it by how their events/activities/duties are covered. But then again, that may be why their events are not properly covered and reported out...optics.
