We're doing our industry a HUG...A-freaking-men. We're doing our industry a HUGE disservice by describing only publicity as what we do for a living. It really, really bothers me.Gini Dietrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050436297536572106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364780079537880017.post-81588422558598252892012-01-27T07:33:57.129-08:002012-01-27T07:33:57.129-08:00Great post, Mitchell.
I was pointed to this post ...Great post, Mitchell.<br /><br />I was pointed to this post by a great friend in Judy Gombita. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article. Not only do you succinctly offer a well-written and much needed argument, but you do so in a way that is grounded in realism. Not to mention, I loved the anecdote used to highlight the cloudy perception of public relations, even by public relations professionals themselves.<br /><br />I find we see all too often the "Top 10" lists that focus so much attention on generating publicity and media consumption under the guise of a public relations lens.<br /><br />Also, I would second Patrice's comment that highlights a very interesting dialogue between Terry Flynn and Paul Seaman over at PR Conversations. It truly is worth a read.<br /><br />It is refreshing to see content like this. Thank you.<br /><br />Tyler OrchardUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350092438022156268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364780079537880017.post-55469117261748103172012-01-26T12:04:56.422-08:002012-01-26T12:04:56.422-08:00Nice post Mitchell.
