A hat tip to Kerry Ramsay on the launch of the Loyalist PR Blog.

As full-time professor for the Post-Graduate Public Relations Program at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario, I am forever trying to keep up with my students and their various high-tech forays (yes, even Facebook!). So here it goes, everyone!

My hope is that my students (past and present) and other PR enthusiasts will visit to share their thoughts and ideas about this ever-changing field.

In my view, social media provides vast new opportunities for public relations practitioners who understand that their best future lies in connecting organizations and companies with their communities. Hopefully, Kerry’s blog will encourage her students to explore all aspects of social media.

I hope that all PR practitioners who see this post will click over to the Loyalist PR Blog, subscribe to it and contribute through comments on Kerry’s posts.
