Blogging: fans vs. favorites
By Wade KwonAny idiot can blog. Don’t believe me? See for yourself at next week’s panel.
As part of its monthly meeting, the Alabama chapter of the Public Relations Society of America will sponsor “To Blog or Not to Blog?” a discussion of whether corporations should blog.
The panelists:
• John Archibald writes a thrice-weekly column for the Birmingham News, which can be found in the Metro section and on his blog. For example, he exposed Mayor Langford’s election payoff of local media personalities to attack other candidates and the newspaper.
• André Natta founded the Terminal, an online publication about Birmingham and the surrounding area. He also writes on his personal site, Dre’s Ramblings.
• And me.
(Hint: I’ll be the one without the beard.)
The moderator:
• Carl Carter, of Carter-Harwell Public Relations, writes on his business blog Over Coffee and his personal site, the Carter Family Workbench.
The event, $14 at the door, takes place at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday at the Alabama Power Metro Auditorium, 1313 Sixth Ave. N. To reserve your spot, fill out the form. The deadline is noon Friday.
The blogosphere has spoken.
