Hi Russell,
I think this is a great idea. I think it all comes down to relationships, respect, and real news angles.

If PR pros and bloggers develop strong individual relationships, this can lead to tremendous insight into the industry with breaking news and exclusives.

I have enjoyed working with bloggers in various industries and hope that more PR pros can treat bloggers with respect and not just blast press releases with some automatic program.

Clearly a good relationship with PR pros and bloggers can lead to interesting stories and fresh content. Unfortunately, not enough PR firms and their staff understand the delicate nature of working with bloggers.

Hopefully this will improve.

I’m using a slightly different gatekeeping method: If anyone has a new service they want highlighted via my blog I’m willing to write about it, provided I can give it a personal and critical (if due) spin. I also allow myself to ignore such headsups altogether, without the submitter having the right to stalk me.

I think this is a great idea, since, IMHO, blogs are a legitimate source of news, opinion for the reader to stay informed and form their own opinion.

Regards,

Blogs: Four-point-fifth estate?

Recently I was involved in pitching content ideas to bloggers on behalf of a client, something we do pretty regularly here at Hass MS&L. It sometimes falls under word of mouth campaigns, sometimes an extension of traditional PR work.

In pitching, I id…

Quit You Whiners…

I’m tired of all the bloggers whineing about being pitched by PR people. Get the heck over it. The irony here is that the less the bloggers want to be like traditional media, the more they sound like them -
