public relations
PR firms are mighty enthusiastic to have
relations with bloggers. Close, close relations.
APCO Worldwide—a scarily connected lobbying and PR superfirm with all types of ex-politicos on its payroll (including former White House flack Scottie McClellan!)—just released a
survey on "The State Of Blog Relations," that asked both bloggers
and PR people about their ideas on how they can make nice with each other [via
PRWeek, where I used to work]. So the flacks all came off like devious bastards, right? Well, some, but the bloggers also came off like money-grubbing sellouts!
