Lynn Seeden was formally a editor for the Orange County Register. I had developed a relationship years ago. When she started a presence on Facebook I signed up as a friend. Because of our relationship, when Lynn started getting questions on our project, she called me out on a Saturday morning at 8:16. I was notified on my iPhone and responded. I was not able to give them an answer until Monday morning but the fact that I responded immediately quailed the remarks.Vincent Covello a crisis communications specialist who works for the World Health Organization and coordinated the 9/11 response of Rudy Giuliani, has a very important statement he often makes. “They don’t care WHAT you know until they know that you care.”
When the young girl from Fountain Valley was in a car accident near our construction site … it was important again. Because of my online relationship with them they reached out to me again. This could have easily turned into a situation where we could have found a media van camped out in front of our construction site…asking why we were putting young lives at risk with our construction.
When we later changed how work was proceeding, I was able to work with Daisy to get the message out via Facebook.It was also published on Fountain Valley Living website and in the “our towns” section of the register by Chris Seeden – Lynn’s husband who still does some local work for the register.
