NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Mayor Ray Nagin said he worries that killings send the message that the city is dangerous, but the news also “keeps the New Orleans brand out there.”
Nagin, whose city has recorded at least 117 murders this year, told WVUE-TV it’s a “two-edged sword.”
“It’s not good for us, but it also keeps the New Orleans brand out there, and it keeps people thinking about our needs and what we need to bring this community back. So it is kind of a two-edged sword,” he said, according to a station transcript. “Sure it hurts, but we have to keep working everyday to make the city better.”
A car company whose vehicles were recalled every week would “keep its brand out there.” Only people would know that the given car company makes lemons. For sure, I am not of the opinion that horrendous publicity is better than no publicity.
