I agree with Isaac's post about participating in a Twitter's chat. One should know the group members in a chat room and where the focus is on the topic. It is really annoying to be a part of a chat room where everyone is discussing their own ideas. I think you should know the topic very well, research about it, and then only participate in a chat. Most important, the topic should be of your interest or you will never have interest in it. Isaac is very energetic person and has a vast knowledge. He can talk to you with keeping the interest of both, but when the focus is not there, a good communicator can't do much.

Patrick portrayed a very good example of what the Air Force PR person does. How the daily routine of PR person in Canadian Forces like. I realized that there are lot of PR persons who were journalists before taking PR as their career. Captain Jill is one of them, but she has a competitive edge with speaking English and French. Patrick is bilingual too; one day he will be on a good position.

Ray wrote about Hannah Pratt, Communications Coordinator for The Winnipeg Humane Society. Her interview tells us that you need be multitasking and doing lot of other things than PR. I agree with Ray that there is diversity, creativity, art and writing wrapped up into a single career! Ray loves dealing with multiple challenges at a time and happily tackle it. She knows the art of balancing her words. I am very excited to see her on news channel.

Well said Vikas. We come from India and we are becoming part of many Public's in Canada. As a International student, we have certain privilege of becoming part of some public's and it important to be part of few. It is a certainly a good guideline for new student to Canada.

3 of the toughest challenges PR persons face:

I agree with Mickie that the three toughest challenges PR person faces are: Battling Stereotypes, Getting heard, Everyone thinks they know everything. These are the daily challenges a PR person has to encounter and that too many times. They need to be more patient and hold their nerve.

Ultimate example of how not to engage in PR

“Let's hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favorite KFC menu.” 

This was the message posted by KFC Thailand urging people to hurry home due to Wednesday’s tsunami scare and order a bucket of the Colonel’s original recipe chicken. 

Isn't it a terrible choice? It is.. We can all agree. 

And the most shocking comes after that; where the PR published a apology letter along with So Sorry on the KFC cover and posted it on Facebook. This spoiled their image and the news covered the issue damaging it further.

A very interesting example which tells where not to engage in PR during this kind of situation.
