3.) Turn Bad Press Into Good—Theres no way around itbad press happens. Even the hottest band in the world has just as many hate sites as fan sites. But what reads to you as bad press doesnt always have to translate as bad press in your press package and mailers and on your web site. There are two easy ways, to turn bad press into good. First, edit it. Its your press after all and not every word can be bad. Simply omit the parts that make you want to run screaming and leave the rest to make up at least a decent review. Second, interpret the negative as positive. No matter whats in the article, act like you think its a great thing. Turn criticism into irony, insults into humor, and bad ratings into humility. Make it seem as if the reviewer was on your side and dont let on that it upset you at all. Again, in the long run, it will only matter that you got the publicity nod in the first place.
