Who Else Is New To PR 2.0?

Of course, great writing, presentation, and interpersonal skill are still important in the PR world, but I can see how easy and quick it is to make connections over the net.

For someone, who has only recently been initiated into Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, it can seem overwhelming at first, but in order to keep up with this changing field, I must get out of my comfort zone.

As, a PR student I have learned that there are various channels to communicate to an audience that did not exist even ten years ago. It used to be that consumers felt shut out and disconnected from what was going on, but it is easier to build relationships through online niche groups, bloggers and journalists.

Sociologists describe humans as social animals.

Connecting with other folks in niche groups helps me to learn their stories and share mine. Stories that have a human interest are what draws me in.

Once I learned that social media helps build relationships and not give me more work to do on the job (which is also true), I became more open to creating an online identity.

Here are some places where I can be found:


Facebook


Twitter


LinkedIn


Personal Fun Blog


Professional Blog


Fictionpress Writing Work


Scarborough Arts Council



I believe all these places help to creat a better picture of me.
