Those are the odds that a child today will be born with Autism. I could not help noticing the sudden influx of information regarding Autism in the media this week. Bob Wright, vice chair of GE and CEO of NBC Universal explains :
Among mainstream print media, The New York Times is following this […]
Tonight was the Oscars…which I”m sure everyone knew about from all the pr and advertising that went on last week about it, but I was excited.
I love watching Academy Award shows and besides looking forward to the styles and dresses everyone is wearing, I love to see who wins. Movies are a […]
1) The most basic question would obviously be, do you have trust and
confidence in your product or company? If you have any negativity
toward your own organizational structure or its products, blogging is
most likely a bad idea. Transparency might not always be beneficial.
2) What would be the benefits to a company blog? […]
I was skimming over a Seventeen magazine this weekend and ran across an article about the new TV series on MTV called PoweR Girls. We all know what it is…Lizzy Grubman making more of a name for herself.
The article was very short but managed to include a mug shot and details about […]
I work for Auburn University as a student representative. I serve as a link between the university and the alumni, and try to raise funds for the different colleges here at Auburn. Today when I was at work I realized how important databases are. In our database we have personal interests that our alumni […]
I wrote my first real intern post on InternQuest today. I’ve told many of you the purpose of the blog, but incase you didn’t catch it, I’ll tell you again. The name gives it away. Katie Smith and I created the site to help us take charge of our search for an internship. I know […]
I spent some time this afternoon exploring various PR blogs. Most all of them had one thought in common… PowerR Girls PoweR Girls. The only positive comment about the show, that I saw, was in Jeremy Pepper’s Blog. He also included some of the negative opinion in his post.
I think that […]
So. In my humble opinion, these five questions are the ones that any blogger should consider before they start posting…
1. Is your information new or interesting? More specifically, do you have a new product to offer or an event to discuss? Do you have a fresh opinion on a topic? […]
I couldn’t decide what to post about this week and as I was catching up on the auburnpr blog, I read Dawn’s blog. I can’t believe her TV blew up! By the way Dawn, I’m sorry!
I love tv. It helps me procrastinate from studying, helps me relax, and solves boredom. I […]
I watched General Hospital today for the first time in months. I have been nursing a cold, and what do we do when we are sick? We lay in bed and catch up on our television shows that we haven’t seen in awhile and ususally don’t make time to see. So as I […]
My T.V. blew up today! I thought I was going to go crazy because I didn’t have it. I keep my T.V. on all the time when I am home even if I am studying. It is just too quiet if it isn’t on. That made me think how important it is for public relations. […]

Yesterday in class when we were on the subject of putting together concerts, a thought came to mind. I remember a few years ago when I was a huge (okay, maybe still am) NSYNC fan. Along with hundreds of other girls, we all waited outside ticketmaster the day tickets went on sale for their concert. […]

In class this past week Dr. French spoke to us about the internet’s ability to expose all of our details through a search engine. We talked about how you can type in a phone number and find out who the person is and directions to their house. My first reaction was that people all […]
Forget about the Super Bowl. Some of my best friends are anxiously waiting for 12:00 tomorrow. For some, the Daytona 500 is the epitome of sporting events. Some might say that autoracing isn’t a sport while others would fervently disagree. While I honestly don’t really care about the outcome of the race or the event […]
Advocates for the disabled are up in arms over Clint Eastwood’s “Million Dollar Baby.”
(Stop reading now if you want to watch the movie because I’m about to ruin it.)
The movie ends with the aspiring boxer (Hillary Swank) obtaining a spinal cord injury. After pleading with Eastwood’s character to help her die, he […]
The most common topic in most the blogs I’ve read seem to be blogs themselves. Although they do serve a purpose in evaluating their own worth, I wonder when the blogosphere will shift out of this and into their own topics of interest. I’ve noticed this subject getting progressively better, but I think that sometimes […]
I have been planning to travel for a few years after graduating college for as long as I can remember.
Growing up, my parents would tell my brother and I travel stories, and I have always assumed that I would go out and experience the world before I buckled down and got a job.
The […]
All too often, students view PR as a field that will impact them (or vice-versa) when they graduate. They see it as a field to study now and represent later. As students in public relations, we have the unique opportunity now to use our public affairs skills to […]
