Adventures in Public Relations

This week’s topic of the week is for both the PR writing and PR & Social Media classes.

Having just returned from the Sundance Film Festival I wonder how many of you read the book before (or even after) seeing a movie. The questions for this week are, would you rather read the book, watch the movie, or both? Why? Which do you usually prefer? What, if anything, has been your favorite book to movie adaptation?

Welcome to spring semester!

PRCA 3030 & PRCA 3330 students, hopefully you have read the directions on Georgia View and are here at my blog to give me your blog address, as well as contribute to the possible weekly blog topics for the semester. (See the posts that follow).

I am looking forward to a great semester with all of you! Please let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me via e-mail, twitter or my office number. I’m also available to meet in the office if you’d like to stop by for a visit.

All PRCA 3330 & PRCA 3030 students: please reply to this post with your blog address (even if you were in my  class before, respond to this post). First, click comment, then at the bottom of the post you will see an area in which to leave a reply. You must include your name, followed by your blog address. For example, Joe Smith – joesmith.worpress.com

Once I have everyone’s blog addresses, I will create a post listing your name and blog address so that you can read each other’s blogs and make comments as stated in the syllabus.

To find blogs I have written for  or pertain to your class, click on the PRCA 3330 or PRCA 3030 link, respectively, under Categories on the right side of your screen.

Each week this semester, you will have an assigned blog topic. Some  topics will be those that you, the students, suggest. In the comments section below, list topics you would like to blog about.

First, some rules:

* Keep it clean!
* Be specific. For example, don’t just write dogs. What about dogs would you want to blog about? A better topic would be, why one should rescue a dog from a shelter or humane society, rather than purchasing one at a pet store.
* Each person must suggest a minimum of two ideas.

Some examples of previous topics (and yes, we can do some of these again):

* Favorite You Tube videos
* What do you really think about reality TV?
* Favorite TV Show
* Pet Peeves

Let your imagination be free and be creative!
