Review a PR-Related Blog

For my PRCA 3330 class

Find a PR-related blog, and read through several of the postings. Then add a comment to this message here at Public Relations Matters with your thoughts. Be sure to include:

  • Name of the blog
  • Website address of the blog
  • Intended audience (if you can determine that)
  • Your thoughts on the content of the blog 

If you need some ideas of what I mean by PR-related blogs, see my links: http://del.icio.us/listeningmatters/PR_blogs for a starting place. (Please don’t use one of these, but you can use one that is linked FROM one of these.)

“All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.”
