This week, on Inside PR 421, we introduce our first Inside PR Book Club #IPRBookClub, featuring The Business of Podcasting by Donna Papacosta and Steve Lubetkin. We're not alone in the book club. Mark Blevis, co-author of Touch, and Kevin Anselmo from the FIR on Higher Education podcast weigh in with their thoughts on the book. On top of that, Donna Papacosta joins us to tell us who she and Steve were thinking of when they wrote the book and what they hope people will take away with them from reading it.
We also have our regular IPR Must Know #IPRMustKnow segment:
More evidence of the power of search to shape opinion. This time, it's an academic study showing that manipulating search results can affect how people vote. It's important for us to constantly be aware of the power of Google.
Gini and the Arment Dietrich team tested Facebook's Notes feature and they discovered that posts written via the Notes feature are in fact extending the reach of their content. If you have a company page, it's worth taking a fresh look at whether you should be posting content via Facebook Notes.
Martin points out that, after several years absence, Twitter posts are again showing up in real time in Google's desktop search. The return of a beautiful relationship.
We’d love to hear from you.
