Question from an MPS SCS Student

I’d love to know which blogs get the most buzz from the students in our program.

Can anyone recommend a great blog — or two? I’d really like to hear from folks about blogs that are focused on developing topics in the communications field. It’s great we have all found “For Immediate Release” – it’s excellent. Blubrry.com has some great branding blogs. I’ve also enjoyed the Ragan Communications site. Anyone have other recommendations?

Here are 2 sites that I’ve found interesting:

PR Meets the WWW: http://blog.basturea.com/
By Constantin Basturea – Director, New Media Strategies – http://www.converseon.com

The New PR Wiki: http://www.thenewpr.com/wiki/pmwiki.php

These I like for PR/new media/social media: http://www.pr-squared.com http://www.socialmediatoday.com
And these I like for levity’s sake! http://icanhascheezburger.com/ http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/
Enjoy!

Richard Edelman has a blog called 6 a.m. I believe he posts his thoughts on communications and public relations everyday.

I have just stumbled across http://www.prdisasters.com/. It is very interesting.

Try www.ethicaloptimist.com . The blogger’s name is Ann Higgins, President of Utopia Communications. She spoke on Oct. 11 to our Ethics Class.

Here’s one I found: http://prblog.typepad.com/strategic_public_relation/ They’ve got some pretty interesting stuff!

I usually read this one http://blog.holtz.com/ but I keep this one http://wordsmith.org/ and other word blogs on my bloglines to help keep my writing unique.
