Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) March 11, 2008 -- The Society for New Communications Research (http://sncr.org), a global, nonprofit think tank focused on the latest developments in media and communications, today announced that the Society's Best Practices Committee has released it's latest Tip Sheet, "Best Practices for Blogger Relations."
As the media relations function expands to include citizen journalists and bloggers, many public relations professionals are seeking guidance and best practices for how to address this shift. Seven SNCR Fellows who are members of the Society's Best Practices committee contributed to the "Blogger Relations" tip sheet. Best Practices committee chair Mike Manuel of Voce Communications, Elisa Camahort of BlogHer, John Cass, Mark Hannah of Edelman, Meghan Hindman of Dorland, David Parmet of Marketing Begins at Home and Brian Solis of FutureWorks PR contributed their best advice. Some of their tips include:
- Do your research to understand the blogger and the his/her focus and interests.
- Forget about THE A-list and find YOUR A-list.
- Create relationships with the bloggers in your industry.
- Never send a blogger an unsolicited press release.
- Remember that you can't always expect bloggers to honor exclusives as traditional media might.
- Separate the external corporate blogging function from the blogger relations function.
The "Best Practices for Blogger Relations" Tip Sheet will be made available to SNCR members free of charge. It is also available to non-members for a $25 donation to the Society. Visit http://www.sncr.org/membership for membership and donation information.
