Happy #NationalPublicistDay to my amazing Lou Hammond Group colleagues and all my friends in the biz! 🎉 On October 30, 1906, The New York Times printed verbatim the very first press release written by Ivy Lee (“the father of modern PR”). The press release came in response to a tragic accident from his client, The Pennsylvania Railroad. A couple of days before, 50 people lost their lives due to a three-car train jumping a trestle in New Jersey and plunging into a thoroughfare creek.   He convinced the railroad to distribute a public statement and to provide a special train to get reporters to the scene of the accident. The New York Times was so impressed with this innovative approach to corporate communications that it printed his “Statement from the Road."
