CMD's Founder John Stauber Profiled in Cap Times

Rob Zaleski, columnist with Madison's Capital Times, has written a profile piece on CMD's founder John Stauber. "In the beginning, it was just Stauber and his buddy Sheldon Rampton, a local typesetter and Princeton University grad Stauber recruited to help produce the first issue of PR Watch. ...

'I could walk in front of a bus today and, while the center would hiccup, it would continue to survive and thrive,' he maintains, 'because we have an amazing staff, and the work we do is absolutely unique.'
