Griese, Noel L. Arthur W. Page: Publisher,
Public Relations Pioneer, Patriot. Anvil Publishers.
Interested in public relations or book publishing? Arthur W. Page, regarded
as the father or corpor
ate
public relations, had distinguished careers in both. He joined the publishing
house of Doubleday, Page & Co. in 1905. He edited the World's Work magazine and
was responsible for the nonfiction side of the book publishing business. He left
in 1926 to become the first public relations vice president of AT&T, then
America's largest corporation. Among other career highlights, he oversaw troop
information for the Normandy Invasion, and wrote the news release announcing the
first military use of the atom bomb at Hiroshima, selected by journalists as the
most important story of the 20th century.
"Arthur Page, an in-house public relations adviser to AT&T
from the 1920's through the 1940's, embraced the concept of good corporate
citizenship and pushed AT&T to be open and honest in its press dealings.
The tension between proponents of Bernays-like manipulation and Page-style
transparency has existed in the business ever since." -
Timothy L. O'Brien,
