From the perspective of a government communicator, there is very little separation between GR and PR. There's a conscious distinction between the political and policy aspects of GR/PR (a distinction probably only understood by "inside the beltway" folks), but the links are evident - and force communicators to pay more attention to softer corporate issues like CSR, community relations, stakeholder interests and others that might be lost in an out-of-the-box PR program..

For me as a non-PR professional, the 12 days theme was interesting. But maybe if y'all recorded at a more civilized hour of the day, you'd be more energetic and focused. I can't even manage to be conscious late at night, never mind alert. Actually, I didn’t find Inside PR 38 all that soporific. For me as a non-PR professional, the 12 days theme was interesting.

I think the bigger issue is for PR to actively reach out within their organizations to form solid, collaborative relationships -- with HR, IT, Marketing, Customer Service, etc. Serving organizations and their internal and extermal PR needs today requires this kind of perspective.

An episode of Inside PR without Chris Clarke commenting and producing? Blasphemy! I actually haven't listened, but I will be sure to on my trek back to Toronto in a few short hours. I'll say it anyway, though: great show, guys! Do my ears deceive me? An episode of Inside PR without Chris Clarke commenting and producing? Blasphemy!
