As I am counting down the days to the end my college career ( well at least classes) I become overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, excitement and nervousness. I will not be graduating in August like the rest of my classmates… I will be interning. I meet with my internship “mentors” this Friday. […]
Deadlines. Technicalities. Legal Stuff. These are all things we run into during our PR lives. And procrastination is something we learn to hate and avoid from birth….but then about junior year in high school, it becomes our friend. Then about senior year in college, it’s our middle name.
The deadline: […]
I always write about how the PR practitioners I have encountered are on each others’ side….in fact — there are no sides! Everyone is on the same team (our career field’s team) and is constantly ready to leand a hand, an ear, or even their voice!
Robert’s Podcast Site is a perfect example of […]
What should one do when they have gone to school for 4 (sometimes more!) years at an outstanding university…studied countless hours…and finally have their degree…a Public Relations degree!…resting in their hot little hand.
Your first real job. Your first real assignment. The resident CPA asks you to design an ad. “No problem! […]
Food for thought!
This is one of those things where you read it and say, “yea! right on!”
Camp Livingston is a Jewish summer camp for kids and teens. They just recently started a blog. Their blog is specifically for daily activities that the kids are involved in. I contacted the camp on Friday and I spoke with the camp director, Andy Brown. He was very helpful and very […]
Everyone get your wallets and pocketbooks ready! Today is the opening of the summer movie that I can’t wait to see…The Wedding Crashers! After you pay an arm and leg to sit by a big, smelly Joe and a chatty Cathy on her cell phone and then watch 30 minutes of commercials and previews, at […]
Look what made the front page of The Plainsmen today.
Here is a quote from the article:
“We aren’t at the point of ‘if you don’t blog you’re history,’ but we are almost there,” Tucker said. “(Blogging) is a way of making your presence known to the world, however big or small it is.” - John […]
A Useful tool for anyone putting together a campaign
Can venting about home, work, life or anything for that matter actually get you fired? Well according to a newspaper article in the Montgomery Advertiser,,,, It can and it does! People all over the world are using their blogs as personal online journals….. and are possibly saying too much. For instance several […]
I stumbled upon this article today that talks about a knife that was found in the Peterson household. (Laci and Scott Peterson, that is. The couple who was spilt apart by a tragic slaying of Laci and her unborn child…later proven to be the doings of husband, Scott.)
Two things. First, […]
Former CBS reporter Bernie Goldberg has just released his newest book, “100 People Who Are Screwing Up America.”
Some of the hits I couldn’t agree with more, others are subject to criticism. Even a few bloggers show up on Goldberg’s list. Take a look at the list for yourself here.
An article on CNN.com discusses the topic of time off before college, or as they refer to it “a gap year”. According to the article, college admission officers are supporting the idea of students taking a year off between high school and college. The idea is that during this year, your time would […]
I like to think that I do not have a naive view on this matter, but I truly feel I have seen the best side of Public Relations and its practitioners. The ones I have encountered (at least thus far) have all been positive, there to catch me when I fall (or prevent me […]
Ok…I finished the book. Overall I’m very shocked at the behavior that was described in the book and even more of how accepted it was by many girls she was friends with. I had to put the book down after reading the first 2 chapters because of how descriptive the book is. […]
