Answer to Question 1

They were doing something new and not well understood. These agencies lacked credibility because
they practiced a one-way model of public relations in which the sources of often-inaccurate
information were hidden. They faced stiff resistance from newspaper publishers who saw publicity
as a threat to their revenues. These agencies also challenged reform minded President Theodore
