PR news is getting harder to find online.
Last week, the excellent O’Dwyer’s announced it was following the example of The PR Network (tempremental site) by adopting a subscription (albeit for a small sum) based service. Its decision has removed one of the best (free) places on the Internet to find out what’s going on in the PR business. PR Week does publish one in-depth story online a week (and the PR Week Worldwire is worth subscribing to), but the fast starting Corner Bar PR seems to be unfortunately grinding to a halt.
So where do you go for PR content? The Holmes Report still has some great content, and you could do worse than checking out the links on the left where Phil Gomes, Kevin Dugan and Richard Bailey regularly fill their PR blogs with great news and views. You should also bookmark James Horton’s Online-PR website which includes a huge number of PR-related links.
Finally the PR services firms are a good source of PR editorial. In particular, MediaMap’s Expert PR and Press Access’ the Scoop run regular features and how-to’s.
If you have any additional suggestions let me know.
