Some on and offline reads and events that have stoked interest and been worthy of my attention of late, including a nod to Pow Wow Etiquette, musings that perhaps PR practitioners could benefit from an oath of obligation (similar to U of T medical research graduates), movies that motivate, Winnipeg revisited, the (sort-of) retirement of [...]

New Zealand is having another foray into the world of wikis, this time with a wiki asking for contributions to the next phase of the country’s digital strategy.

Public Relations and Social Media: impact sofar and what next? Look at this program for the Euprera-Edelman EuroAtlantic summit in Bruxelles from 13 to 15 of March and make sure you don’t miss it!
An EuroAtlantic summit of senior social media and public relations academics and practitioners will take place, as already indicated in this and other blogs (www.euroblog2008.org) , in Bruxelles from March 13 to 15.

What’s my name – and where’s my number?
In case you missed it, 2007 was a big year for the statisticians – and, in many ways, something of a lost opportunity for us when it comes to making public relations count.

“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 [...]
