I had no intention to do a linky love this week. We’re still off-season for one more week in Advanced PR writing. But man! There is some terrific stuff out there this week.
Note to Millennials: You Aren’t Workforce Royalty Yet (Tiffany Monhollon, Personal PR)
I have been reading a lot about millennials lately. My colleagues Patricia Curtin and Tiffany Derville and I are doing research (thanks to a PRSA grant) about millennials in PR agencies. So I’m always interested in articles related to this generation. This is particularly relevant because it’s from a millennial working in PR to millennials who want to work in PR.
Can PR Save the Beijing 2008 Olympics (Kevin Dugan, Strategic Public Relations)
PR Crisis Expert Weighs in on San Francisco Olympics Protest (Daily Dog)
Interesting news coverage and commentary this week as the Olympic Torch made its way around the world. These posts are both on the topic and have some terrific insights.
Comments About Comments (Karen Russell, Teaching PR)
This is one of those topics that it’s genuinely difficult to find good posts on. Thank you, Karen, for this post. It’s a terrific way to think about both leaving comments and generating comments.
Five Reasons I Deleted Your Press Release (Sally Whittle, Getting Ink)
The blogosphere has helped air a lot of the problems that media have with PR people, which hopefully (someday!) will make a difference. Until then, helpful posts like Sally’s will get you on the right track.
Will You Kick Ass For Us? (Todd Defren, PR Squared)
I’m consistently impressed with the way SHIFT hires, trains and supports its employees. The end result seems to be happy clients who get more than they expect. This post is an example of SHIFT’s sustainable business model. If you’re looking for a j-o-b, contact SHIFT.

Thanks for the kind words about SHIFT, Kelli!!
(And for the suggestion to send resumes my way!) 😉
Thanks — commenting is worth talking about because it’s important to move beyond lurking and get into the conversation. But students are often so NERVOUS about it! I guess it’s the whole “public publishing” issue again.
Todd, the compliment is genuine. It’s clear that you’re committed to your team’s success and that leads to good client work. Not all that long ago, one of your staff had a public gaffe on Facebook with an editor (I don’t remember the details). But you went to the mat for her and that has always stuck with me. That doesn’t always happen – based on my own agency experience and that of my students. I’d recommend SHIFT in a heartbeat for those who live in SF or Boston.
Karen,
I know. I know. I think I am the same way to some degree – so I understand the initial trepidation. I’m reluctant to comment if I don’t have anything better than, “good post!” But really, I could think of something better and I *should* think of something better! Lead by example, eh?
I require one comment a week during the 7 week period my writing students are blogging. I’m usually pretty impressed with what they have to say.
