Interview - Constantin Basturea - August 10, 2005

In this edition of For Immediate Release podcast interviews, Shel and Neville enjoyed a 45-minute conversation with Constantin Basturea, the man behind The New PR Wiki and Global PR Blog Weeks I and II.

About our conversation partner:

imageOriginally from Romania, Constantin Basturea (pronounced BahshTUra) came to the US when his wife opted to pursue a PhD. Settling in Miami, Florida, Constantin decided to take the opportunity to obtain his own Master’s Degree in public relations at the University of Miami. Since then, he has become a one-man resource for the global public relations profession, building tools that make it easier for PR practitioners to understand and apply the tools of social media. These include a wiki called The New PR, an annual online professional development event titled Global PR Blog Week, a PR headline service, and a comprehensive PR-focused del.icio.us bookmark listing.
