Dennis Redmont On ‘TIME’ Magazine

Interviewed by TIME contributor Stephan Faris, Dennis Redmont analyzed Pope Francis’ communication skills and how the new Pope handled “his first communication crisis”.
There’s every indication that the new Pope knows how to work the media himself. When, a few days after the election, questions about his role during Argentina’s bloody military dictatorship threatened to derail the narrative of renewal, the Vatican responded with uncharacteristic speed and force, releasing a statement that described the accusations as slanderous, defamatory and motivated by leftist anticlericalism. “That was his first communications crisis, his first bump in the road,” says Dennis Redmont, a professor of international media at the University of Perugia, who covered three papacies as a journalist for the Associated Press. “When someone makes an accusation, it dangles. And in the age of social media, if you let it dangle, you’re dead. It’s important to handle these things quickly.”

Redmont’s Prediction For US Elections
Monday, November 5th, 2012 | Articles | Comments Off on Redmont’s Prediction For US Elections
In a brief interview with Filippo Sensi, deputy editor of the newspaper Europa, Dennis Redmont talks about the upcoming US presidential election and its possible outcome.
Since the elections will be very tight, republicans and democrats have recruited thousands of lawyers to monitor and eventually question some small-margin results (the republicans even 8 thousand). The most important battles are the referendums regarding the states who would legalize marijuana (Colorado and Washington), gay marriage (Maryland) and the “proposition 37” in California (companies have spent over 40 million dollars) in favor or against OMG. But at the end Obama will win, as he rightly managed the Sandy tragedy and has recovered from a horrible performance in the first debate which will remain a classic of political rhetoric.
