Point:

1. Samsung had a good strategy to give this story to WSJ first, reported from both Texas and South Korea. Then they got a 2nd WSJ story, so it got double the exposure.

2. However, they missed addressing one key issue-environmental impact.

"It would be better to announce a specific plan later for Samsung about how the cleanup effort of polluted water caused by the expansion of semiconductor manufacturing will be."
