Good man. Way to represent Canada! I'm bummed that as a competitor I don't get invited to Edelman's cool social media events. Thanks for your summary. It's a great recap of what by all accounts was a day of interesting discussions. I'm also bummed that you got to press the flesh with Robert, Karen and Neville. Three folks I had to scratch my head to remember if I had actually met them live. (I haven't.) Even as a retired prof you get invited? Good man. Way to represent Canada!

It was wonderful to see so many grads and colleagues. The Food Dudes are just that: food dudes. They are acquaintances of one of the students who helped organize the evening. Ed, That 28-year sentence was for <i>teaching PR</i>. I was practising the craft for quite a few years before that :-) Judy,

You've obviously had a huge (and positive) impact on generations of students and colleagues in the field. The scholarship fund will ensure the legacy of excellent communications even further. I was very happy to be in attendance. *BTW, I absolutely adore the name of the catering company, The Food Dudes Corp., in particular the tagline: Food Driven Entertainment. Is Brent McClenahan (or other principals) former students of Centennial College's Corporate Communications program? And kudos to Christine Smith and the student volunteers on organizing a great event. It was a lovely evening of tributes, great conversations and food*, Gary.

Five reasons why. by JonasPK http://classact.prblogs.org/2008/04/03/news-releases-on-life-support-five-reasons-why/#comment-651 JonasPK Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:10:35 +0000 http://classact.prblogs.org/2008/04/03/news-releases-on-life-support-five-reasons-why/#comment-651 I was just referred to your post, Gary, from a comment by Robert French on PROpenMic.org (http://tinyurl.com/65bm9b). As a young professional writing press releases is that they are nothing more than announcements. Being a newcomer to the agency I recently worked at, I felt that there was little interesting information, and they were really ways to simply get information "out there" without reason or aim other than to have it posted on the web site. I was overjoyed when I saw a presention by Michael Pranikoff of PR Newswire of the many web-based additions that one can and should make to their press releases. And I hate writing phony quotes.

Your time hasn't been wasted. I subscribe to your posts. The trouble is that, like many educators, I just don't get the chance to reply often enough. Hi, Gary. Your time hasn’t been wasted.
