I'm still curious about how she went about manifesting media exposure...
This is a world I know well, and I can tell you that it's absolutely possible to buy places in tabloid media and make them look like they interviewed you without a disclaimer. Think like a "native advertising". There are packages you can buy for that.
This is exactly how so many powerful people are able to "secure" favorable press about themselves. In times when most media outlets are struggling and losing revenue, this is among the business models that keep the tabloids still profitable.
Like him or not, even Prince Harry was talking about how Royal Family has been practicing this. Indeed, on the month that the last season of Crown appeared on Netflix and showed the controversial aspects of Prince William's personality, on the very same month, there was mysteriously a very positive feature about him on the British Vogue, praising this great but misunderstood man and his commitment to sustainability in fashion. If the Vogue can be manipulative like this, imagine what you can get away with the tabloids that have a quota of dozens of click bait articles they have to publish every week.
Even if she secured the media coverage through legit press releases and contacts, tabloids are hungry for cheap, controversial, click bait content that people will come for "hate reading". Let's face it, if you were a tabloid reporter, wouldn't you jump on Anna for exactly that?
Oh, btw, I don't know how it is with each outlet, but these days, a pretty standard business practice in the media is that the reporters will earn incentives depending on the clicks, and will be reprimanded for not having enough.
The PR advice that goes "there's no such thing as bad advertising" is outdated by at least 70 years.
Quite to the contrary, it's never been easier to irreversibly ruin your reputation. There's a reason there is a proliferation of PR agencies and consultants specializing in reputation management and recovery. By this point, Anna's is so ravaged, no one legit would take her on.
If you want to see the public opinion on her, read the comments on the Daily Mail coverage she gets. Unlike her YouTube content, she has no control of what's written there. And no, that infamy doesn't sell her courses or products. Like most of us, people just watch her out of sheer outrage and entertainment.
Also, if you wanna ruin an enemy, get them on the FeMail pages.
Like everything else about her, her media coverage is fishy, manipulative, and poor quality.
