I have a bunch of Google alerts. One of them is for any blog that mentions "public relations." Much of what I see is useless for one reason or another. But this one caught my eye because it mentions a PR icon and former employer.

It doesn't really matter what your position on climate change is. The point Jim Hogan is making is one I've said many times before in this space - public relations is about what you do and NOT about what you say.

If Hogan's reporting is accurate, I'm shocked that Edelman said what he said. After all, it was while at his firm that my supervisor first shared the aforementioned tidbit about PR.
