Where is PR Going?

Okay, I keep planning to do a big think piece - or really, a "what I think" piece - on where PR is going in 2006. I have no answers, I don't claim to have any answers, I'm just some kid in Phoenix that is blessed to look 10 years younger than I am, has a good ability to write, and can be sociable when needed - some not-too-bad traits for PR. For the piece, I even have a nice photo of Edelman, thoughts on the so-called 25 percent and if PR is changing, and other stuff along those lines. Heck, I even gave a quote to predictions for 2006. More on those thoughts on a later date, but the not-so tongue-in-cheek part of the quote was cut, where I noted that those same divisions would just be swallowed into PR as a whole, when firms realize that they do not need to separate blogging outreach from mainstream public relations. But, Foremski and Al Golin, who brought up the importance of relationships and the over-reliance of high-tech Richard Edelman's fisking of the Foremski piece - as the leader of a burger), but has been about messaging. That's what PR should always be about - access to the message, getting the message out. With more and more companies launching, it is no surprise that PR is in demand because companies - after their the growth of PR firms in the Bay (btw, one wasn't so new, but just a new name) and just yesterday I got a "sneak" peak into news from The Churchill Club, an organization that does harken back to the days of the dotcom era. To me, it was a nice strategy - they know I write about PR Heck, they even blog so they seem to understand that universe, but when the profile says "principal of the best damn PR firm, period" and you don't get the joking tone that you do from the POP!
