I thought this blog assignment was fun. I have looked online before on NBC.com and others just looking and trying to figure out some things such as an intership and just in general what people do “up” there or “around” to see what they do in PR and so on. EVent management sounds so fun […]

I remained fascinated by the video about EPIC. We were asked last week in class to research the PR field and explore our options. I have explored websites about PR firms in my area of interest and thought about the exact job that I want to do, but after watching this video, I realize that […]
This is interesting to me because this blogging thing is new to me and I am still learning about it. THe Internet is becoming the “thing” to do and where people can communicate. BLogging is a new way to communicate and it is becoming a big thing. The idea that concerns […]
The majority of the world has not yet grasped the concept of blogging. I know I didn’t until PRCM 3040. Therefore, those of us who do blog and have our own personal blogs knows how it works. If one is smart enough to create his/her own blog than he/she should […]
I think Allan Jenkins is on the right track with his Code of Ethics. It would be ideal for large companies to have a Code of Ethics for their blogs because it would protect the company and also the employees of the company. It would help protect the company because there would be […]
I am a bit hesitant to commiting to an ideal PR job just yet… Even though I’m only a year away from graduating, I feel like I still have a lot to learn about the field before I really know what I would be happy doing.
For that matter, it will probably take years into my […]
A Code of Blogging Ethics. Great idea in theory. I think that Allan Jenkins has good motives for the idea, but in reality how practical is it? A main advantage to blogging is that there are no rules. Doesn’t a code of sorts betray the freedom that Blogging stands for?
Sure without […]
I applaud Jenkins’ call for ethical standards on his blog. A code of ethics is a wonderful way to garner respect and credibility, though the mention of a universal authority on ethics in blogging is somewhat alarming. The creation of a “higher authority” on blogs suddenly turns the channel into a tightly controlled media, […]
I think that if you are going to host a blogging website, then you have the right to create and enforce a code of ethics. I have a friend who is a member of a blogging community. The person in charge of the site strictly enforces his rules. That’s the key phrase…his rules. His “manefesto” […]
I think that the code of blogging ethics is a little far fetched, only in that in my mind, blogging seems (or at least seems so far) that it’s more of a freewriting opinion-based idea. Like in other ways of expressing your mind over the Internet (livejournal, IM, email) most of the time, you can […]
The Code of Blogging Ethics posted by Allan Jenkins is basically saying that he will strive to do the best and most professional job possible when writing in his blog. We should all maintain such standards out of respect for ourselves and a desire to preserve the integrity of our words. A sincere […]
In agreement with CourtneyH a blog can only be as helpful as the author makes it and just like all material gathered from the internet the source’s credibility is what can tell us the most. Here are some insights into how blogs are changing the relationship between consumers, corporations and advertisers as found on […]
In high school, I started collecting china pieces. Any other normal high schooler would be into c.d.s and clothes, but I liked buying serving dishes and place settings. I loved to help my mom host showers and plan parties. Therefore, my freshman year in college I changed my major from interior design […]
On the question of why a blog author/owner would want some sort of code of ethics on their website I automatically thought of this debate that I ran across when I was searching about a code of ethics and blogging. The debate leaped out at me because it brought an interesting factor to a […]
On the question of why would a blog author/owner would want some sort of code of ethics on their website I automatically thought of this debate .I ran across this when I was searching about a code of ethics and blogging. The debate leaped out at me because it brought an interesting factor […]
it’s a romantic idea, that we (someone, some committe) could filter and control the content of every blog. but blogs, like life, will probably remain uncensored. i agree with Jenkins… if someone wants to create a code of ethics for their own personal site, for their own personal blog, have at it. […]
Why risk it? That is the question that kept running through my mind as I read about this situation. Williams had many readers/fans who followed his column. He was a respected journalist and commentator. Now what does he have? He lost alot because of a mistake. Risks are apart of the […]
Marketing Communications, Issues Management, Special Events and Public Participation are all areas of PR that I would like to work in. While searching through the various PR firms in the Atlanta area I came across The Garner Circle, The Reynolds Group Inc and Green Olive Media. Each of these organizations focuses on a […]
I was going through Fortune magazine tonight and found an article that I thought everyone should at least skim over. The article is about the 10 tech trends to watch in 2005 and blogs were number one!
It may not be our topic for the week, but I think it kind of pertains […]
