Comment by Fakorede Titilayomi on May 24, 2011 at 19:04: Hello Everyone, am exicted to be a part of this group. More excited to find the likes of Johanna Fawkes on here. Hi Josh, how do i go back to previous threads?

Thanks.

Comment by Josianne Millette on March 17, 2011 at 14:32: Hi! I'm a PhD student at Universite du Québec à Montréal, with a professional and academic background in PR. I'm particularly interested in Critical Studies of PR as practices, discourses and social phenomenon.

My research project is about the ethics of social media PR. So far, I found that theoretical work on this subject is quite scarce. Any knowledge of any body of work I should know about?

Looking forward to discuss with you all.

Comment by Josh Greenberg on March 16, 2011 at 21:35: Welcome to the group Rolando, Ika and Olfa. Please feel free to go back to past threads and offer your thoughts and reflections, or begin a new discussion.

Cheers!

Comment by ika Damayanti on March 7, 2011 at 8:06: hi, my name is Ika, I'm a postgraduate student of communications studies in Indonesia. I'm looking forward to opinions about personal branding through social media. i haven't found any literature related to that issue. so i hope for any comment.

Comment by Olfa G. tantawi on December 16, 2010 at 22:22: Hi great to meet all of you, I am from Egypt, a media professional who has had a turn from journalism to public relations, working mainly in the development field. I look forward to be inspired by new ideas and interesting research. I have a Masters in Television Journalism,I also contributed to a cambridge study about religious broadcasting in the Middle East.

Thanks Meenakshi and Johanna for you blogs, really very interesting. it is great to have such a resource. My own interests lean more towards media and its impact on people and not specifically public relation being more of a practitioner rather than a researcher in this specific field, but I am an avid reader and I firmly believe that practice has to rest on solid grounds of good understanding of the theoretical background. here is a link to a blog I wrote a while ago entitled " Advertising poverty" if any one is interested to know more about my own background and context

http://onpoverty.blogspot.com/2010/10/advertising-poverty-she-looke...

will come back to you all with lots of questions and reflections

Comment by Josh Greenberg on November 15, 2010 at 14:44: Welcome to all the new members who have recently joined our PR network. Please take a moment to introduce yourselves to the group: tell us about your professional and/or research interests; what's your area of expertise; do share links and news stories; and remember to pose questions and raise opportunities for discussion in the "Discussion Forum". Cheers!

Comment by Josh Greenberg on November 3, 2010 at 19:07: Thanks Johanna, and welcome! Great blog too - we have overlapping research interests, mine discussed in the "Discussion Forum" above, particularly relating to notions of occupational/organizational culture and professional identity work. Looking forward to continued exchange. You should connect with Bernie Gauthier, also in our network and a long time PR pro also completing his doctorate. Re: NCA unfortunately other work prevents me from attending this year. Have a great conference.

Comment by Johanna Fawkes on November 3, 2010 at 19:00: Hi - I'm Johanna Fawkes, practised public sector PR for 15 years then 15 years teaching at UK universities. Based in Leeds, UK. About to submit my PhD on Jung, ethics and PR - a new approach to professional ethics, with PR as the case study. See www.kirkstalljo.wordpress.com for blog and papers. Latest publication in the Review of Communication July 2010 but not sure about copyright restrictions.
Anyway pleased to see a new venue for the exchange of ideas.
I'm going to the NCA next week - anyone else?

Comment by Josh Greenberg on November 3, 2010 at 18:55: Thanks Ibrahim and Meenakshi for sharing your information. Please don't hesitate to post linked comments to your blog and news reports where/when relevant. You might even try to crowd source feedback or ideas for future posts from the group.
