About
Welcome to my blog o’ blogs. I am writing this blog as part of a capstone project required for graduation from the honors college at my school. I am majoring in communication, with an emphasis in journalism.
The topic I will focus on is corporate blogs, part of the public relations repertoire for many organizations. The inspiration for this topic came from a real-life experience writing a corporate blog. In the end, it came down to a clash between the “whole truth” of journalism and cherry-picking of public relations (more about that later). I lost my job because I stood up for what I believe in, and now I want to do more research about blogs and their use as PR tools.
Along the way I will review various corporate blogs, explore pros and cons, and ask if blogging is journalism.
