PRBlogs gets some non-students
Robert French has caught the Constantin Basturea bug. This is a condition that prompts someone to make a contribution to the public relations professional basically out of the goodness of their heart. The condition has manifested itself in French—a professor teaching public relations at Auburn University—through his development of a blogging community focused on the PR world.
Initially, PRBlogs.org had attracted only students. Perhaps it’s the visibility several PR bloggers have given the community that has finally led to a couple of blogs from non-students, including one from Chris Thilk, author of the Movie Marketing Madness column for FilmThreat and a blog devoted to trailers, posters and other movie marketing. Another comes from Scott Kidder, a student who works for Gawker Media, which owns (among other blogs) Wonkette and Gizmodo.
PRBlogs.org has real potential to become a full-fledged community. Ultimately, however, it will take more PR people signing on to make it happen. I have no doubt there are many who work in the profession who read this and other PR blogs but have not yet taken the plunge themselves. Since French is making it free and easy to get started, I’d urge you to grab up your own blog today. The more of us out there, the better.
