In a challenging economy “communication ills” seem to be growing daily, successful communicators rise to the challenge to create solutions to ease the pain. IABC Dallas, has announced that Newsroom Ink’s Ed Lallo will receive either a Bronze Quill or Award of Merit for the successful establishment of LouisianaSeafoodNews.com as a crisis communications tool during the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Social media networks and platforms give companies and their brands an opportunity to talk directly to the public, bypassing traditional media and PR agencies. The Louisiana Seafood Newsroom is heralded as a successful example of strategic thought leadership.
Marketing, PR and communications departments are facing a crisis in successfully combining all forms of media under a single umbrella. Only a few select companies have successfully integrated Paid, Owned and Earned Media (POEM) under the guidance of one department. A small company faces budget constraints to make paid media meaningful, and in larger companies silos are created for each media that minimizes the optimization across all platforms.

The study concluded that PR is best suited to “own” digital media, shows an increasing trend by worldwide journalist to use online news tools.
Oriella Digital Journalism Study finds journalists are turning increasingly to online tools. Brands wishing to stand out must communicate their stories and messages effectively to their own digital followings, as well as complementing conventional written collateral with visuals, videos and opinion-led content which journalists can re-publish.
In the dawn of the digital social media era, PR hacks and flacks worked with computer programmers to devise an algorithm that would drive reputation-damaging stories deep into search engine archives. Using “fake” websites equipped with often-nonsensical SEO posts, damaging articles were targeted.
