This is an insightful article that points out how PR firms and lobbyists are ill-serving their gambling company clients by ignoring the grass roots concerns of people who are well aware of the real harms caused by the industry's advertising and promotional practices. Instead, they are focusing on short-term "wins" in the regulatory arena; and in the process they are endangering the industry's long-term viability, rather than cooperating with all genuinely concerned stakeholders to develop truly responsible business practices. It's a sophisticated and enlightened analysis presented here that the industry leaders should take heed.
