Europe's most popular communications, PR
and media conversation

November 28, 2011 #CommsChat with Richard Bailey, 28 November

On Monday 28 November #CommsChat will be joined by public relations educator Richard Bailey, academic, lecturer, and editor of Behind the Spin.

Richard will be leading a #CommsChat on the theme of learning. With the proliferation of communications training courses currently out there, are PR practitioners learning more than ever? Or are there drawbacks to applying academic credentials to creative comms?

Topics in tonight’s chat will include:

– Do you need to be an intellectual to succeed as a communicator?
– What can academics learn from PR practitioners?
– And what can the professionals learn from academics?
– How useful is a qualification (degree level or otherwise) in PR?
– What have you read about PR this year that’s really excited you?

#CommsChat will start at 8pm (UK time – go here for local equivalents) and last for an hour. Everybody with an interest in the subject matter is welcome to take part – use the #CommsChat tag in your tweets, or go to http://commschat.com/commschat-now. A full transcript will be posted on Tuesday.
