PR 2300

Blog #1
I recently read the PR blog of a Mr. Barbera who lives in California and was explaining his great appreciation for Robert French who has organized the Auburn PR Blog, but has taken it to different levels with the creation of PRblogs.org.

Robert has partnered with James Farmer and together they have built a PR blogging community that is offered to all people. Now not only students, but PR practitoners and educators can use this and benefit from this organization.

The purpose of PRblogs.org is to provide a service that (a) allows for experimentation with the medium, (b) a community that discusses the implications of blogs in PR and (c) to help bridge the PR education and practitioner communities.

I was really impressed by Mr. Barbera's blog post because you could tell he had a passion for what he was writing about and that he had a great appreciation to Robert French and James Farmer. I also liked that he is getting this information out to all PR students and professionals so they can benefit from this as well.

Hello Brittany, great to find your blog. I remember when Blake wrote that post. So happy you found it.

Great to see you blogging. I'm loving all of your practice writing exercises, too. Great work.

I wanted to share another site we have, PROpenMic. It is a social network for PR students, faculty and practitioners. I've searched for all the Clark's on the site, didn't see you name, so I wanted to invite you to check it out.

The URL is http://www.propenmic.org

As of today, we have just under 2,300 members from 140+ colleges & universities in over 40 countries around the world. We'd love to have you join us, too.

Take care!
