Monthly PR Round Up - February 2009
Hi and welcome to my February report. You are probably wondering why February - well as with all of Australia we are closing the office over the Christmas/New Year break and I am having an extended break through to 12 January. So there isn't much time to compile a January report. The National News will be published on 2 February and this is the accompanying Info Report.
So a couple of immediate new things - we have start Tweeting - you can find the feed here - I am not sure how much we will have to say but we are at least plunging in and trying! We have also started a Delicious page which you can tune into here.
As always I hope to gather together all the PR news, views, gossip and information about public relations, communication and all things PR related.
