About "Page Turner" - The Arthur W. Page Society Blog

We think Arthur Page would have been a blogger if web 2.0 had been around in his day. He was, after all, all about listening to the customer and making sure AT&T was responsive to the public. In that spirit, we invite your participation in the Arthur W. Page Society Blog. We're encouraging a robust conversation about the amazing changes buffeting global companies and the rapidly evolving role of the chief communications officer.

Contributors are mostly members of the Page Society, but we have an occasional guest contributor, as well, and we are encouraging comments on the postings from anyone in the corporate C-suite, the public relations profession, academia or anywhere these issues matter. What, the stuffy old Page Society wants no-holds-barred dialogue on real issues? Well, yes, except for illegal holds as defined by us (see our comments policy). We're not going totally crazy - we have our stodgy corporate reputation to preserve.

Many of the postings address questions raised by the Page Society's white paper, The Authentic Enterprise. The paper argues that companies wishing to build and defend their reputations in the 21st century must embody their own values in everything they do and build meaningful relationships with diverse stakeholders. We figure that applies to the Page Society also. So, we'll try to hold true to the Page Principles (which, the white paper argues, are just as relevant today as they were in Page's time), while reaching out to colleagues in the C-suite and others who can bring new insights to our table.

We are eager to hear from you, so post your comments, and be sure to let us know how we can make the conversation more relevant to you.
