January 2012: Issue 3
This issue of Media Monitoring News looks at PRSA's own rationale for developing a new definition of public relations and includes a number of worthwhile "how to" articles including "How to Create an Infographic", how an agency or freelancer can create a Knock-Out Pitch for new business, and how to get started in creating an interactive game for corporate public relations or marketing. There's also a compendium of articles on social media monitoring and measurement. Good reading!
 The New Definition of PRPRSAFor whatever reason, the Public Relations Society of America decided it needed to re-define the public relations profession. Voila! Here are the Candidates for a Modern Definition of Public Relations. Justice Potter Stewart had the right idea. You don't have to define it to know it when you see it. 4 Reasons Why the PR Team Should Be in Charge of Social MediaFootprints: The Walker Sands BlogWho should be in charge of running the corporate social media program? 4 Reasons Why the PR Team Should Be in Charge of Social Media makes the case for PR, but ignores the value of a collaborative, team effort that includes marketing and customer service among others.

It's a wider and more, well analytic, vision of Social Media Measurement and Analytics with some substantive insights. CES 2012: Measuring Social Conversations Among the NoiseIntelIntel employed The Consumer Electronics Show as the venue to launch and demonstrate its "Social Cockpit", a social media measurement system for Measuring Social Conversations Among the Noise. According to Intel in its hype-filled news release, the social media monitoring and measurement system measures "the pulse and meaningful movements of the social Web, something akin to how the Bloomberg Terminal gives minute-by-minute information about stock markets and financial news." The "cockpit", Intel says, serves as a constantly updating dashboard that fills several large monitors so the teams can track in real time who is getting share of voice, and generally, what people are saying and about what products and what companies. State of the Media ReportVocusIn its sneak peek at some highlights from the upcoming 2012 State of the Media Report, Vocus reports that 152 newspapers folded in 2011, but no major dailies. Layoffs of news staff and paywalls abounded, and newspapers faced the hyperlocal digital news services such as Patch. There were 195 magazine launches and most magazines implemented new formatting for the iPad and other tablets. In broadcast, the number of TV shows streaming to computers continued to increase and radio continued to survive with some growth in listenership. 5 Ways to Get Started with Gamification [Slide Show]CMO.comGames engendering engagement can be useful communications tools for public relations or marketing. 5 Ways to Get Started with Gamification suggests ways companies and other organizations can employ interactive games to deliver corporate and brand messages — and develop relationships with consumers. Side issue: What's with this new trend of displaying articles in slides with irrelevant graphics that add little or nothing to the central concepts — make it more time-consuming to read and make it impossible to scan the article? It's just an awful idea. Present it as the text article that it is! 10 Measurement Predictions for 2012K.D. PaineWith her vast experience and insight, Katie Paine offers 10 Measurement Predictions for 2012.

First rule: Don't rely on PowerPoint! Really! Remember: A pitch is not a meeting; it's performance art. It's a worthwhile read for anyone making new business or new project pitches.
