Tackling social migration tensions with the architectural and the generic principles and specific applications concepts of public relations
You might have read these last few days of the serious social crisis developed in the southern Italian city of Rosarno in the region of Calabria, where an exasperated local community took to the streets and violently attacked the growing community of African migrants, leaving many wounded.
An effective communication campaign: #PicturesTalk
This detailing of a case study began life as an intended comment on Kristen’s Sukalac’s recent blog, Pink Gloves, Hashtags and Lost Opportunities, but it became so involved and long (and the subject so inspiring) that I decided to turn it into a post proper.
Tidbits: one, two, three, four…who are we all rooting for?
Tidbit 1. From Louvain la Neuve on ‘Contredire L’enterprise’:

At the time the then-Privacy Commissioner, Walkley Award winner, and ex-journalist, Paul Chadwick, indicated, “Privacy Victoria sponsors the platypus at the Melbourne Zoo because these fascinating monotremes are a natural symbol for the idea of privacy.

The Business of Business is… Responsible Business: where public relations becomes relevant, in the form of stakeholder relationship management

The perspective of this new-year note on ‘the business of business is responsible business’ is that the current economic crisis is only one of the consequences of a historic discontinuity (see here) in which we all find ourselves immersed since the end of the twentieth century.
A discontinuity originated by the radical subversion of the [...]
