Consider it another step in the evolution of Public Relations.

Since he has taken office, the Obama administration has sent word out to federal agencies to make these new technologies a centerpiece of their communications plans.

PRSA’s Professional Development Committee assembled a diverse panel of experts who examined ways public relations professionals can make effective use of these incredible new technological tools and how they can be incorporated in with traditional campaigns. The presentations evoked a lively discussion and helped the audience learn the best ways to successfully use social and digital media as part of their overall public relations strategies.
