Spreading the love between PR and journalism

By Jen Bishop on Thursday, 21 January 2010

Tonight is the second #prjournolove in Sydney; an event I spearheaded on Twitter to get PR people and journalists together for a friendly and informal drink. The idea is to discuss work and accept we’re all normal people and communications professionals who don’t have to hate each other. There’s also a distinct possibility that we’ll talk about non-work activities, maybe even get a bit tipsy and make the odd new friend.

We have more than 100 RSVPs, largely due to joining forces with #PRinks, an existing PR-only meet-up. What could be more in the spirit of PRJournoLove (which I like to call a movement in better PR and journalism relations!) than joining forces with the PR people?

You can follow the movement on Twitter with the #prjournolove hashtag. Get in touch if you’d like further information.

    Hi Jen :-)

    In case your wondering…I just reckon you’re a good egg that is putting ‘the people’ back into journalism…Oops! My bad…I mean ‘Jenalism’ :-)

    I like your intent and I hope it helps turn ‘busi-ness’ into ‘relaxed-ness’…otherwise stuff like ’sustainability’ will remain in the realm of fad and media hype.

    I reckon good ol’ WIlliam Blake had something to offer journos, when he said:

    “A truth told with bad intent beats the worst lie one can invent”

    Keep going Jen…and thanks :-)

    Cheers

    Stephen G
