The Sky Is Not Falling John Martin McDonald

In 1985, John Martin McDonald was unemployed, on food stamps, married and with a small child. His career took a fateful turn after landing a flight crew job with Trans World Airlines in St. Louis. He was the widely quoted spokesman when Flight 800 blew up, killing 230 people off the coast of New York. In a career in and out of airline PR, he managed media relations surrounding the hostage repatriation of oil pipeline employees, worked on two visits of Pope John Paul II to the United States and coordinated communications during several Fortune 500 bankruptcies. The Sky Is Not Falling puts you in the front seat of a wild drive through Corporate Communications, 35-years of marriage, and decades of substance abuse and recovery. If you want to see a behind-the-scenes PR life at high speed, you will enjoy The Sky Is Not Falling. Onward!
