More KVUE TV coverage.  It was some sort of a police story.  McNabb's first love was politics, but that beat was taken when he got to KVUE.  Knowing that there was always a story at the police department, he headed for the "Cop Shop" daily.  It is there he began to see the need for crisis communications consultation.

What Does This Mean?

     During his decades in broadcast journalism in Austin, Texas, Jim McNabb witnessed history and reported it accurately and fairly time after time.  He never asked a crew to do something he had not already done himself.  But, McNabb had done it all. 
     He also dealt daily with the sources of stories, many of whom are not too happy to be talking to a journalist.  Some of them are receptive to the situational training they get from McNabb on how best to deal with the media, because the media is not going away.
     Some of them, however, decided to say, "No comment."  "No comment" actually speaks volumes.
     There are ways of saying things, telling the truth, without doing damage to an image or good will.
     Jim McNabb communicates.  Jim McNabb communicates goodwill.
