South Asia Disaster Relief Message to PRSA Members

December 31st, 2004 by Todd Van Hoosear

From PRSA:

Dear PRSA Member,

We at PRSA are deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in South Asia and would like to extend our heartfelt sympathies to those who have lost loved ones. During this great time of need, one of the best gifts you can give to the victims of this tragedy is a monetary donation to the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts. There are three ways to donate:

  • Call 1-800-HELPNOW
  • Make a secure on-line donation at redcross.org
  • Send a check or money order to American Red Cross, International Response Fund, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013, (designate South Asia relief)

Shameless plug: Tech PR Gems in Fortune Magazine

December 30th, 2004 by Todd Van Hoosear

David Kirkpatrick’s recent Fast Forward column and and Fortune’s cover story talk about blogging, how it can help, and how it can hurt–at least if you ignore it. The 7 Dirty Blogs story from the cover story is very entertaining. Ahem. Oh yeah, and he mentions Tech PR Gems in his column… Happy New Year!

Just because you’re blogging doesn’t mean you should give up your e-newsletter, says MarketingProfs. We agree.
