Pretentious, boring, arrogant – these are just some of things I have been called over the last week by completely different people. None of these people know me in real life. Beyond the pixels on this page they have never sat down and had a drink with me, joined in with the crazier part of my social life or at least been constructive with their criticisms. Blogging for me is just about writing. Yes,... 

If you are a Public Relations student or perhaps studying another area of business then I highly recommend you follow these 5 blogs: Social Web Thing A blog run by a chap called Ben Cotton. I actually met with him for the first time last month and it is good to be reassured he is both intelligent and friendly!

To represent your client online requires you to wear the mask of your client. Due to this you must accept full responsibility to act on the part of your client on the side of promotion. Social networks are no longer a question of the scripting languages being... 

In light of the Guardian news iPhone application it seems appropriate for me now to discuss my ideas with how Journalism is changing in the 21st Century. Perhaps more appropriately how we will see journalism change as we reach the end of a decade. As John Stuart wrote in the second chapter of his essay ‘On Liberty’ it is necessary for journalists to have the right of free speech as long as there...
