My "must read" blogs

At the request of faithful reader Lelia, and after much deliberation, here's a list of my "must-read" blogs. There are so many more that I read faithfully and enjoy every time, but I aimed for variety here. If you're interested, they're all on my newly updated blog roll, so you can click through to check them out. 

• Authenticities, Edelman Digital (global)
• Communication Overtones, Kami Huyse 
• davefleet.com, Dave Fleet  
• KD Paine's PR Measurement, Katie Paine 
• Mengel Musings, Amy Mengel 
• Ruder Finn Ethics
• Solo PR Pro, Kellye Crane  
• The Social Path, David Griner 
• Web Strategy, Jeremiah Owyang 
• 360 Digital Influence, Ogilvy (global)

There are also several blogs by PR faculty that I love, but that may not be as relevant to experienced pros like Lelia; nonetheless, this is my must-read list so here they are, too. 

• PR Connections, Mihaela Vorvoreanu
• PR Conversations, group blog (global) 
• PR Studies, Richard Bailey   
• PRos in Training, Kelli Matthews 
• Tough Sledding, Bill Sledzik 

Thanks for the inspiration, Lelia. Not only did I get a post out of this, but I finally got around to updating my blog roll.

Wow, quite honored and humbled to make this list. Thanks for including me. I love keeping up with your blog and hearing about all the great social media strategies that you're integrating in your classes. It's crazy to think that NONE of that even existed just a few years ago when I was one of your students!

[Lelia]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I think this was probably a good exercise, something that I need to do as well. I am absolutely adding some of these to my own list!

Karen,

Thanks for compiling the list, we're glad to be among such brilliant company. I've been following Teaching PR since the early days and will definitely continue to do so!

Karen;

It is so hard to pick a "must read" list with so many great blogs and thinkers. I just appreciate all of the mutual learning that we have gotten from each other over the years. That said, I think I might have a post or two up my sleeve that I need to get busy and write :-)

[Karen Russell]

You're welcome, everybody. It was hard to choose, so I'm glad you're all happy with it!

[Kellye Crane]

A belated thanks for including me in such esteemed company -- quite a compliment! I never cease to be amazed by lists of this sort, because I always find a new blog or two that I didn't know about. As one of the leading thinkers in modern PR, your "must reads" hold a lot of weight. Thanks for putting this together so we can all learn from you (as usual!).
