All publicity isn't good publicity. As a New York publicist put it: "What: the guy's an asshole so I'll go and buy his novel?"
There's no bad publicity except an obituary.
The price of justice is eternal publicity.
Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.
The government being the people’s business, it necessarily follows that its operations should be at all times open to the public view. Publicity is therefore as essential to honest administration as freedom of speech is to representative government. “Equal rights to all and special privileges to none” is the maxim which should control in all departments of government.
Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.
If you truly believe that there is no such thing as bad publicity, then I will be happy to disillusion you.

A man once said that the pinnacle of successAt any money, or compliments, or publicity.
There's no such thing as bad publicity.
