PR blogs and blasts
 
Who has time to read PR blogs and email blasts? But there are more to choose from every day. Here are a few options.
 
One of my favorites, an old standby, is Benton’s Communications-Related Headlines. It’s a mix of news stories about policy and trends in the broad communications field. Sign up here . Tech Soup blasts out a good newsletter, called By the Cup, with helpful tips on sorting out all the new tech options we must choose from.
 
I asked Lisa Witter, of Fenton Communications, for her three favorite PR blogs, blasts, or websites. The first was agoodmanonline.com, which is the website of a consulting firm started by Andy Goodman. It also sends out a monthly newsletter called Free Range Thinking.
 
She also listed Katya’s nonprofitmarketingblog.com, by Katya Andresen, author of Robin Hood Marketing, and the New York Progressive PR Professionals Listserv.
 
Nancy E. Schwartz writes the Getting Attention blog and newsletter. It’s got practical information for nonprofit groups. Nancy recommends: Donor Power Blog; Beth’s Blog; How Nonprofits Use Social MediaDon’t Get Caught E-newsThe Agitator; and
 
Brian Smith at Earthjustice recommends PRWatch.org, which produces reports, blasts and other information, like Source Watch.
