PR33 – Top PR / Communications Blogs 2011
A list of top PR blogs – how original!? Yeah, I know this has been done before and other lists have been compiled much more scientifically, but this blog is about sharing opinions, so here (in my opinion with input from many of you) are the 2011 PR33 – the top PR / Communications bloggers.
Notes and disclaimers: These are not ‘just’ PR people on this list. public relations needs to continue to expand its reach to include social media and core marketing disciplines, so you’ll see that reflected in this list.
While I was willing to accept cash for placement on this list, no one was willing to ‘donate’ so; I can honestly say that I received no monetary gain from including anyone on this list. Truth be told, I know some of these people and have some level of professional / personal relationships with some of them.

Part two the four part 4/4/4 blog series in which Steve Farnsworth, Lou Hoffman, Todd Defren and I (with open invite to all other communications bloggers) each blog on the same topic. This week’s topic is: to stay relevant how do communications professionals need to evolve?
Without checking birth certificates, I’m going to guess that Steve, Lou, Todd and I are of a similar enough age where we all have some experience with pre-Twitter technology such as copy and fax machines, hard copy press kits, clip books put together with scissors and tape, and museum quality pieces such as the big green Bacon’s Media Guide.
The point is that until recently, evolving for a communications professional was mostly about adopting new technology. The previous technology advances – email, online directories etc. – leveled the playing field. We all learned how to use them without any significant competitive advantage being gained. Read more…
Is Ghost Blogging Ethical?
For several months, I blogged and tweeted as Tony Mackey. After hypocritically posting about the horror of ghost blogging and other ethical topics, I decided that it was time to come clean.
