Realtors start blog, blame media coverage

Orange County Register columnist Jon Lansner, who is also SABEW’s president, notes in his blog that the National Association of Realtors has started a blog to address what it believes is unfair coverage in the media.

Lansner writes, “Here’s their premise, it’s all the media’s fault: ‘News coverage shapes perceptions of people, organizations and entire industries. Yet few of us understand what goes into the making of a news story. ‘NAR in the News’ will give its readers a peek behind the scenes into how journalists cover the nation’s largest trade association and the 1.2 million REALTORS® it represents. This blog is also a place for REALTORS® and others to express their opinions and ask questions that we will try to answer. ‘NAR in the News’ is produced by NAR’s Public Affairs Division.’

“OK, real-estate blogging fans. Go see how open Realtors are to your questions and theories!”

Read the responses that Lansner has gotten here. Some of them are humorous.
