Measurement Starts Here
Institute for Public Relations

The Institute for Public Relations new PR Measurement Website is a treasure trove of documents, slide sets and blogs from the Media Measurement Summit held in early October in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. First, you can find AVE (Advertising Value Equivalency) Is Not a Substitute for Measuring the ROI of Public Relations, a paper developed by the IPR Commission on Public Relations Measurement & Evaluation. The website also includes a slide set as a review of the Barcelona Principles, a document that outlines seven key principles for valid PR Measurement. An article titled Barcelona Meets Portsmouth then examines the recommendations of International Association for Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC) task forces that were formed to address practical questions of how to implement the principles. The article outlines the validated metrics frameworks. Combined, the principles and practical recommendations set the framework for PR evaluation years into the future.
An article recounting a panel discussion on What's Really Happening in Social Media Measurement, moderated by K.D Paine, explores the latest insights and best practices on social media measurement. There's also a list of bullet point highlights from the panel discussion on Influence: What It Is & How to Measure It.
The site also makes available the slide sets of some of the speakers including Documenting the Business Outcomes of Public Relations, a report of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Measurement Working Group headed by David Rockland of Ketchum. There's also a handful of slide sets from K.D. Paine including Social Media Measurement Techniques and Tips and Social Media Measurement: What, Why and How. Together, the papers, articles and slide sets form a terrific immersion into PR measurement for expert or novice.

How Social Networks Predict Epidemics
TED Conference

This 17-minute video captures the entire thought-provoking presentation on How Social Networks Predict Epidemics by Nicholas Christakis, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard, at the TED Conference in June. While Christakis uses medical examples, the "mapping" principles and notion of "sensors" within the social cohort can also apply to communications. For PR professionals, then, the "epidemic" is how "bad buzz" spreads and where best to intercede to "immunize" the population.
