Global PR Week 2.0: Why CEO's Shouldn't Blog
I'm pleased to be one of the many professionals who have contributed time, ideas, and articles to the online conference Global PR Week 2.0, and want to highlight one of my articles that just came online this afternoon.
But before I do so, I want to explain how I can write about PR is Dead and then join the circle of public relations folk who created Global PR Week. The answer's simple: I'm not interested in seeing public relations die, I'm trying to help move the discussion of what is public relations in the 21st century along. Those people who believe I'm anti-PR have missed my basic point: go back and read my article again and you'll see what I'm saying.
Anyway, if you have even a passing interest in public relations - and you should - then I encourage you to dedicate some time this week to reading through the many superb articles going online each day at the Global PR Week site, or just use an RSS aggregator to subscribe to the RSS feed.
Now, on to my article on Why CEOs Shouldn't Blog. Here's how I start it out...
"To answer the question of whether CEOs should blog, let’s sweep aside the enthusiastic rants of the blog evangelists so we can consider the role of a corporation and the responsibilities of a company CEO. So as to not keep you in suspense, however, let me state up front that I believe the CEO of a company should not be spending her or his time blogging."
