Former MPAA PR man Rich Taylor joins the ESA


The ESA has a new head PR man, and he comes with some credentials. Rich Taylor is the new senior vp of communications and research at the ESA. Taylor was previously the head of the Motion Picture Association of America's communications department under former president Jack Valenti. The MPAA is well known for creating a very solid shield for the movie industry with its rating system and behind-the-scenes maneuvers.

Taylor's MPAA experience will probably serve him quite well during those video game culture war flare-ups. It should also be noted that the man went from the movie industry to the video game industry -- oh how times are changing. The funny thing about Taylor's job, if he's doing it right, you'll hardly hear from him or uppity politicians in the press.
