Day: April 29, 2004

Ryan May has found an article on NewsForge, a site dedicated to Linux and Open Source, on “Getting Good PR for your Open Source Project”.

It’s a good simple overview of the basics of good media relations. I don’t think it’ll shake the fundamentals of the PR business, but it’s always useful to refresh best practice and the article does a good job of it.

It also links to my favorite media relations guide, the Care and Feeding of the Press by Esther Schindler – which is always worth another read. 

Two new PR-related weblogs to report.

Steve Rubel has kicked off a new PR blog called Micro Persuasion which looks at “how blogs and participatory journalism are impacing the practice of public relations”.

Media Culpa is concerned with “incoherent opinions about media and public relations” – author at this point unknown 🙂
