POBA on NPR, Time, Rolling Stone, NY Mag

When paparazzo Gene Spatz died in 2003, he left behind a trove of more than 50,000 stunning photos of New York City street life, culture and nightlife in the 1970s and 80s. His two sisters wanted to preserve his remarkable legacy and make it available to the public, but had no idea how or where to start. POBA worked with his sisters to preserve his archive and create permanent galleries where his work could be seen by future generations.

PKPR placed stories on POBA’s work for Spatz in Time, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, Artsy, and Closer Weekly Magazine and secured a fantastic segment on NPR’s Here and Now.

Mozilla leads Day of Action for Net Neutrality


For today Internet Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality, Mozilla tapped into the oddly addictive Slow TV phenomenon with an epic, 9-hour video spoof. The offbeat but surprisingly effective video features 9 hours of real-time footage of ordinary things like chickens grazing and clouds rolling as a narrator reads a soothing and seemingly endless selection of the more than 40,000 messages that Mozilla has collected in opposition to the FCC’s efforts to gut net neutrality protections.

PKPR secured coverage in Vice (“This Video Features 9 Hours of Pro-Net Neutrality Comments Read in a Soothing Voice”), The Verge, CNET, International Business Times, and Inverse.
