Answer

I don't think employing professional media spokespeople has done any harm, for the case or for the McCann's. I think they have benefited from getting professional advice. I am sure there are some critics who say they lit the bonfire of publicity and so deserved to be burnt. But I think once it gets out of control - and for them it probably felt like it was getting out of control - they need some level of protection. It's not easy dealing with a competitive media. MORE!
