Is Mining Losing the Public Relations Battle?

摘要

I have a bad feeling. We are going into a presidential election year and at the rate things are going, the mining industry could be in bad shape by this time next year, even if the Republicans regain ground lost two years ago. Although the National Mining Association is doing yeoman work in the nation's capital, we are losing battles at the grassroots level, which are effecting legislation in Washington. One problem is that many mining companies have poor public relations skills.
