Leidly agrees with Burson and adds some about the Watergate impact on public relations..
A few days ago I was invited by the Public Relations Global Network to give a 20’ present/onversation (…so I dubbed it) to a group of some 30 leaders of as many consultancies and as many countries who met in Milano for their by-annual conference each time in a different country.
The topic I chose [...]
Exploring the role of public relations in social media
The Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS) just announced the launch of its inaugural webinar, PR and Social Media. Using two (Canadian) case studies that “leverage blogging, wikis, YouTube, Flickr, del.icio.us and various online communities,” the session’s focus will be on the tactical side of social media, rather than theoretical concepts.
Approached several weeks ago by Vancouver-based [...]
How can public relations improve the quality of decisions and accelerate their implementation?
If I had ten savvy CEO’s from the private, public and social sectors of the economy around a table and, at a certain point of our conversation, I asked them:
‘amongst the following three challenges you face today, which -in your opinion-is the one which deserves your priority attention?’
……and the three challenges were:

Blogging from Vilnius on black pr. A really freezing shower for all of us!
The only thing that I regret is not having been able to understand (because of the lack of an english translation) of three and one half presentations (out of nine!) which unfortunately were in the Russian language (the Russian one of course, Belarus, Polish and half of the Latvian one).
However the ones I was able [...]
“Digital tusks” enhance “quality writing” reach to thought leaders on politics, economy, arts and tech coverage
My Media in Canada subscription hit the in-box this a.m., with a lead article cleverly called “The Walrus adds digital tusks.” Having taken out a (print) subscription to The Walrus this past fall during the Word on the Street festival in Toronto—and being very pleased indeed with the quality and breadth of the publication [...]
How do I ‘black pr’? Let me count the ways…At least 13. 150 professionals from 7 european countries meet in Vilnius (Lithuania) today to compare notes.

Measuring Social Media: a post from Frank Ovaitt, President of the Institute for Public Relations
“A new blog is created about once every two seconds. New videos are posted to YouTube even more frequently. Virtually everyone with a computer (98%) goes on line to search for information before making a purchase. Video search is taking over text search as the most popular form of searching.

A Message Bazaar? Is this where we are heading? An interesting perspective from Iran
I have just come across a highly interesting read from Iranian scholar Mehdi Mohsenian Rad, Ph.D. on Globalization, Culture and Message Bazaar. Please take a break, its tough reading but well worth it. You can link here http://www.icpr.ir/article/En-Article.php
Here we go to phase two. From tonisblog.com to prconversations.com, a collaborative blog with six initial heavyweights from as many countries.
My friends,
when you feel ‘cornered’ there are at least two ways to react: step back or accelerate.
I am happy to inform you that I have decided to accelerate, and from the day after tomorrow (Sunday, April 15, Italian time) this blog will have exhausted its function and will move on to a cooperative blog under [...]
Is it too soon for the media to begin assigning blame? PR practitioners invited to weigh in with a vote

In its Daily ‘Dog section of the website, Bulldog Reporter (which bills itself as “The Leading Source of PR Views, News and Tools”) usually has a running “Pulse of PR” spot poll.
