Why I’m Not Renewing My PRWeek Subscription
Last week
I received my third reminder from PRWeek that the time is coming for me to renew my subscription.
Which, of course, made me start thinking: do I want to renew my subscription?

Do I need to renew my subscription?
As I started debating the pros and cons of doing so, PRWeek told me what was in it for me if I did renew:
- Unlimited access to PRWeekus.com, available to subscribers only
- Daily Breakfast Briefing, delivered via e-mail each weekday morning
- Weekly Online Edition, delivered via e-mail every Friday
- 12 monthly issues in print
- The annual PRWeek Contact directory, the ultimate resource for finding the perfect agency, in-house PR contact, or services provider
Is Twitter For Bullies?
I’m a little riled up…
Articles like this annoy me.
It’s not because it disagrees with my sensibilities (though it does), nor because I have a particular affection for Twitter (though I do).
It’s because it’s simply ill-thought out – another piece bashing the use of social media, without actually having engaged with the concept.
The author has a Twitter account, I’ll grant him that, but by the looks of it, doesn’t actually engage with anyone.

Sorry, couldn’t resist that. I felt a bit punny.
What is HAPPO? Oh, how quickly one forgets!
Here’s a reminder of how HAPPO started, but in a nutshell, it stands for “Help a PR Pro Out,” and is an initiative that uses social media to connect public relations job seekers with those who could employ them.
I’ve been part of the core group since Arik Hanson and Valerie Simon launched the initiative, and think it’s absolutely fab.
Tomorrow, a little over one year since HAPPO was launched, there will be several events taking place throughout the country to help job seekers with all sorts of things: résumé reviews, advice, as well as connecting them with potential employers.
