Line up announced for the First International History of Public Relations Conference at Bournemouth
Am really excited about this conference being organised by Bournemouth University; a great topic, some very exciting looking papers and a truly international line up of speakers. Looks like I'll be by the seaside in July for sure.

The joys of lecturing
I was delighted to find this David Shrigley card during a visit to Walsall Art gallery with my children last week and promptly bought one for each of my colleagues. So rarely do we get such candid feedback...!

Narcissist condemns PR
The Huffington Post recently published a blog post by Grant Cardone bemoaning the inability of PR firms to raise his profile. In spite of his somewhat aggressive tone and his less than sympathetic and rather inelegantly titled video, 'You can't handle the truth', he appears to think that his 'story' is newsworthy.
What interests me is not whether Mr Cardone should have a higher profile, rather it is his comments about embracing social media that intrigue me. Putting aside his less than diplomatic writing style, does he have a point? Essentially, he is arguing that PR is too slow on the uptake of digital comms and that this reluctance to adapt and move away from traditional PR methods risks rendering the occupation futile.
Perhaps PR will become more reactive as myriad audiences take publishing into their own hands, or perhaps, as Philips and Young suggest, the new media landscape has 'changed [PR] forever' and taken on new meaning? Virgin territory, academically speaking, and interesting stuff either way.

The beginning of the end? I hope not.
Disappointing news from the BBC this morning. We all knew it was coming of course, it had been cynically leaked to Murdoch's Times newspaper towards the end of last week but now the BBC has made it official. 6Music and Asian Network make headline news but what is the impact of these cuts on audiences? Where does this leave the 'value for money' arguments made by Aunty over the last few years?
