English PR student Stephen Davies has a new blog called PR blogger.
Lloyd Trufelman (great last name for a PR guy!) has an excellent article in the latest issue of the PRSA newsletter PR Tactics on the challenges of the consumer generated media.
“What lies ahead Focus and research will become an increasingly important and time-consuming part of the PR process. As news communities develop, we will need to become active participants, offering views, comments and angles on both breaking news and background issues. Contributing to blogs and wikis, researching the new podcasts and aggregators, and simply keeping up with technology will become more important to PR professionals. Just as it was with traditional media, we will need to cultivate relationships with these new publishers.”
Amen….
