global discussion. local perspectives.
The Public Relations Society has decided yesterday to set up a task force to explore the certification issue, while many of my students from NYU’s Global Relations course selected licensing for their final paper. Here, in Strumpette, is a post which summarizes the debate. Let me know your thoughts….
I have mentioned before in this blog Tom Watson’s on going deplhi study on priorities for public relations research. Well, the study is now finished and you can read all about its conclusions here tom’s blog
Jean Pierre Beaudoin, one of France’s most reputed public relators, is not a particularly abundant writer and speaker; he is very careful at what he says; but when he does externate, one should pay great attention…there is always much more in his thoughts than in what he actually says
…in a July 17 column, Stefan Stern, the Financial Times commentator, confesses he is not comfortable with ambiguity, and argues against the recent consultants mantra by which organizational leadership must learn to ‘cope with ambiguity’.
This is not the first time that licensing of public relations professionals is discussed in this site (if you digit the term in the ‘search this site’ area of this blog you will come up with at eight entries, now nine) .
Tomorrow Monday July 16 I will be having my fourth (out of seven) online two hour session with some 14 executive masters students from New York University’s Master of Science in Public Relations and Corporate Communication.
I feel like blogging this lovely Sunday morning from my terrace over the charming bay of Italy’s Porto Ercole and am musing over the issue I wish to address
Readers of PR Conversations (particularly those involved in media relations or media coaching) might find the weekly e-newsletter, Touchdowns and Fumbles, produced by Veritas Communications to be just the ticket for a Friday half-time break. Its game is to provide a brief analysis of select news stories from a PR perspective. As indicated in last week’s issue (July 6th), “…we only comment on the communications play, not on the substance of the issue.”
How does one approach the issue of stakeholder relationship management (or, better, governance..) from an operative perspective? This is the basic question which scholar Tom Watson from Bournemouth University in the UK, recently posted on his blog
In a recent post I referred to the Tanzanian Government case which Mindi Kasiga and Gerhard Butschi presented at the Global Alliance’s recent World Public Relations Festival in Cape Town, as one of the two most inspiring and innovative presentations.
