PR Misc – January 21, 2005

With the New Communications Forum taking place last week it�s no surprise that there�s a lot of content from the event and a lot of excellent insights into the challenges and opportunities facing PR � check out the links below…

 

 However, before I get to that, aren�t the reports of the US government�s spending on PR most interesting?  The fact that Ketchum has received over $95m is hard to believe!  No wonder there are doing VNR�s – I�m surprised they haven�t launched their own TV channel with revenues like that coming in the door. Other agencies should find out who does their business development�
