Blogging for PR
The internet has revolutionized the world. People now sit around computers looking up facts, chatting to friends in Singapore and typing their hearts content for the world to read. It would only seem proper for everyone to align themselves with the current and present technology. So, why not blog for Public Relations? It seems reasonable and practical. It seems like a quick way for companies to see how people truly feel about their organization. It seems new to me because I have never looked at a blog — but perhaps I am in the minority on that. If most people “blog” or peruse “blogs” than it does seem like a great way for PR practitioners to spread their word. Mostly though, I think I feel indifferent about it. Personally, if I were working in the PR department at a company and we had a crisis, I wouldn’t turn to a “blog” to let the world know how we were handling things. Hey, but that’s just me. I seem to be a late adopter of ideas.
