I don't know about you, but I am a hughe Mexican food fan! It is actually my favorite food. So when I saw this title: "Luscious Low-Fat Mexican Meals" I got intersted very quickly.
The best part is that it's true! "Delish" meals company is one that is very unquie as they are trying to promote their new healthly Mexican meals. They offer everthing from "Guiltless Gauamole" to " Creme Caramel". Pretty much their PR rep rocks! They have me as a new customer and I don't usually fall for these things! Pretty sweet use of some good PR.

Sydney is 15 years old and has had her rare form of cancer for about a year now. Sydney’s wish was that she wanted to ride a horse on the beach. Sydney’s wish was granted and room was made.
“When walking into Sydney’s room immediately you were to feel like you were on that beach, watching Sydney ride her horse” said Interior Designer Rochelle Clark. Sydney’s room was complete with bamboo, fake grass, a big umbrella, palm tree and pictures all over the room of Sydney riding her horse.
Founder and President, Dave Clark “Feels like it is always good to help someone out in their own problems as it helps me maintain proper prospective in life. I have been given so much that the Make a Wish Organization has allowed me to give a small little something back.”

JCOM 2300 week 4: #7
This week I read something very different from the usual articles I tend to migrate towards. I was checking my e mail and I found this on my msn home page: “America’s Most Expensive Zip Codes, Despite Housing Woes, these Houses are sizzling.”
This immediately caught my attention, and after I had read the article I realized that this was the best PR for people trying to sell a house in this area (Fisher Island), brokers, realtors, and the overall housing community across the country.
“When the most conventional wisdom about real estate has been proved wrong.” I loved comments like these and many others as it brings hope, fire and a overall happiness to readers. Even if they don’t live in this area or have anything to do with the housing market, it still shows a sign of improvement, which then makes people happy to read this good news. Great PR article, I learned a lot from reading it.

JCOM 2300 week 3, # 6
I really liked this article by Catriona Pollard. She gave ten tips to produce succesful articles for Public Relations.
I will name my favorite five:
1. Your writing gets better when you allow a few days in between your writing. This lets you take a step back and see what is missing from your article.
2. Does your article pass the "So What" test?
3. What kind of media do you want your article to appear?
4. Editing is huge! Make sure not only you edit your article, but have someone else edit as well.
5. Will your article if published, break any confidentiality or start any problems?

PR 2300 week 3, #5
I read an article from websitemarketingplan.com. It was entitled "What is Public Relations?" at first I thought that I should not read it since my actual major is Public Relations and the fact that I am a junior now, I thought that I would know what the definition of this was.
The dictionary defines public relations as "Communication with various sectors of the public to influence their attitudes and opinions in the interest of promoting a person, product, or idea."
By reading this definition you would think that Public Relations is one of the easiest ways of media. I would go as far as easiest but I would say that it is a form that is very reasonable as long as you have a passion and care to do what it takes to succeed, just like everything else in the world. There is so much media out there that in order for the media to succeed, they need information that is both useful and entertaining for their readers matter of prioritizing your goals and leveraging the resources that you do have available to take advantage of what is an invaluable marketing tactic. Here are some helpful tips the website suggested in being successful in PR.
1. Create several creative story pitches. 2. Match your target audience with the right media channels. 3. Have a spokesperson or PR firm represent your company. 4. Take advantage of your opportunities when they present themselves. 5. Follow up with your contacts.

PR 2300 second week- # 4
The article I read was called: "Realtors praise Senate action to provide finanical stability."
This really caught my eye because very close people to me are deeply in the real estate business and so it put a smile on my face when I saw this ( even though, after recent events this has probably changed).
"The Senate's bold action will help the country emerge from the
current credit crisis and put the economy back on its way to improved
financial and housing stability." Said,PRnewswire.
I love how this articled stated that we can unclog our financial pipeline. Also by doing this liquidity will be greatly improved,which gives people hope and the ablility to be able to get loans. Mortgages will be easier to come by, making people and families fulfill their dream by living in a house.
But this act requires many different people and finanical institutions to all work together under one roof and make this happen.
"This far-reaching and meaningful legislation would go a long way in
helping restore confidence in the nation's financial system," said NAR
President Richard F. Gaylord. "Provisions in the bill would directly
benefit Main Street by making financing more available. The legislation
would not only help make home mortgages more available, which would help
stabilize home sales and prices, but also help families who are trying to
secure a car loan or borrow money to send their children to college. It
would help protect Americans' retirement savings and small businesses
across the country."
I agree with this statement and with the main point of this article. I hope many will read it and gain something from it as well.

PR 2300- second week # 3
I am so glad that I came across this article today. I feel like it has not only brought my spirits up and gave me a great example on what an "annoucement" press release should look like.
Everyone knows that the events of our Governments decisions and our economony as a whole right now are pretty scarey. That is a big part of why I liked this release. I felt that it gave across a sense of pride to be able to be in this profession, as well as a sense of hope for better years to come.
I really liked the first sentence, "During difficult economic times, it's especially important to make smart career investments that will ensure your future growth and success."
I completely agree with this and am so glad that it immediately caught my eye, because I was able to learn about something as cool as PRSA 2008 conference and PRSA as an oraganization.
This event is one to remember with 100 workshops, genreal sessions, networking dinners and key note speakers like:Craiglist's Craig Newmark, GM's Bob Lutz, “Brazen Careerist” author and blogger Penelope Trunk, best-selling author of “Tuesdays With Morrie” and “For One More Day” Mitch Albom; and Lou Capozzi, Business for Diplomatic Action board member and chairman emeritus of Publicis Public Relations and Corporate Communications Group.
I truly believe that if a person is planning on being something in this industry, than they need to get out there and start DOING. To me, this would be the perfect start.
Plus, when you pay for this conference you also get a National PRSA memebership for one year!
