When starting this blog, it was my mission to start using the major tool of social media that is the blog. With my own high expectations, I set out to write an informative blog on the positives of my industry, public relations, to counter the negative perceptions that are cast out regularly.
Suddenly, an opportunity came up that I just could not refuse. The Toronto Star offered me a chance to blog for them during the 2010 World Cup. I had applied for the freelance position on a whim, got it and ended up working on website content for the month long tournament.
Here is the link, but to be honest, I have no idea how long they will leave the postings up for: http://www.thestar.com/blogs/article/819931--bio-stephen-d-angelo
Nonetheless, I want to continue this blog and contribute to it regularly. I look forward to writing some entertaining and interesting posts in the near future that focus on the positives and benefits of the public relations and corporate communications industry.
I look forward to writing and hope you enjoy.
Public Relations has always had a poor reputation, but is it really that bad? We're not all the spin doctors and puppet masters that we are portrayed to be. PR is being used for good rather than evil. This is PR for PR.
