					<description><![CDATA[This is a well-considered blog entry (17 July 2006) by Andy Lark on trends affecting PR, such as the influence of social networking on public relations. 1.) Certainly, citizen journalism is immediate and ubiquitous, but it doesn&#8217;t replace professional journalists. There are microchannels, but for our clients, this has not changed the basis of competition. &#8230; <a href="https://jimcaruso.com/pr-trends-social-networking-sites-press-release-templates-etc/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "PR Trends: Social Media Sites, Press Releases, Etc."</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In-Stat (19 July 2005) research corroborates my last post about the changes facing landline telecom carriers (ILEC, CLEC). The survey specifically assesses bundled telecom services. Bundling of services reinforces the tie between the supplier and customer and counters competition, specifically switching carriers (providers). The most interesting finding is that subscribers are bundling around Internet service &#8230; <a href="https://jimcaruso.com/landline-bundles-appeal-but-broadband-more-compelling-than-phone/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Landline Bundles Appeal, But Broadband More Compelling Than Phone"</span></a>]]></description>

Higher end services, such as data, are now driving the thinking at the big carriers, which see their landline numbers &#8230; <a href="https://jimcaruso.com/mobile-lines-overtake-landlines-evolution-of-mobile-advertising/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Mobile Lines Overtake Landlines &#038; The Evolution of Mobile Advertising"</span></a>]]></description>
