@DaxGotFacts @david85robinson @AnnieCostabile How about a number 2 pick or Rickea Jackson or Cam Brink. They did say assets…can’t name them if there isn’t agreement from the Sparks. Obviously they want good value for Loyd.

@CanBball @GatoradeCanada Will the WNBA players on the roster travel to this game? Looking forward to it either way!

@Andrew_Livi Lol

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@Andrew_Livi It was ok.

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@LaurieSarkadi Agreed. Apparently he is not running again. One hopes he simply stops talking.

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@Megan_Holsapple @RylundJohnson Agreed. If a comms person has been hired to do media relations as part of their job - give them the authority to do it. Big giant pet peeve of mine.

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@RylundJohnson Finally finally. Committed, decent folks work tirelessly to ensure that citizens know where to get health care, to remain safe during emergencies, to access social supports & dozens of other key services. The griping about media relations is all they hear. They deserve better.

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@RylundJohnson And finally, I take back the slagging comment. It’s just that it’s too easy to blithely throw shade on communicators when the real problem ( as it pertains to media relations) is rooted elsewhere.

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@RylundJohnson As to journalists and comms people outnumbering one another - I’d still argue that the comparison is illogical. Comms people do not exist only to serve the media. It’s one very important aspect of their job but hardly the reason for their existence.

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@RylundJohnson As both a former journalist and communicator I agree that journos need to be better compensated but why compare that to a comms person’s compensation. It’s a specious argument. The two realities are not linked. Journalists deserve to be better compensated is a fact.

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@RylundJohnson A communicator’s job is to ensure citizens have access to their government esp programs and services. Their time is spent planning and executing information/awareness campaigns, managing websites & social media accounts, advertising, &focusing on direct-to-citizen outreach

[Zoe Raemer @zoeraemer]

@RylundJohnson Your comparison and argument is based on a faulty assumption -that govt comms exist only/primarily to respond to media. Actually that task typically takes up +-25% of a comms persons time.
