  About PR Newswire's Emerging Media Seminar

The face of Public Relations has been in a constant flux of change for the last few years. The media as you know it has changed and morphed into a mix of buzz words such as "Web 2.0," "Social Media," and "Social Networking."

The seminar will focus on how communicators can utilize the new technology that is driving emerging media, provide real world examples utilizing those tools and ultimately give communications professionals the information they need to incorporate those tools into their communications program.

  Some of the questions being discussed:

  --  What's most important for Public Relations professionals to know
      today?
  --  How much is it about PR vs. Marketing?
  --  How much time and money should you invest in emerging media?
  --  How do you show ROI?
