  1. hey guys,
    sorry you couldn’t find a version of the edelman news release, but why not head over to weblo.com/pr6 for an actual working version of a social media news release created by iStudio and High Road Communications in Canada (part of the Fleishman-Hillard network)?

    it may not be a wizard but now we have the template built, we can easily drag and drop content into it, change the style sheet to reflect the clients’ colours and (more importantly) host it on the client’s own Web site.

  2. Neville/Shel:

    Just another thought on what it takes to be in PR. New practitioners should be comfortable with the idea of being team players. This isn’t a job where working in isolation is really an option. Even online, the need for collaboration is critical if we’re truly developing effective measurable communication programs.
