You may have noticed that I get PR news and insights for you from a lot of different places around the web. How do I find these valuable nuggets, you might ask?

I like to think of it as “walking my beat.” Here’s my basic routine:

  1. Read PRSA’s daily email, Issues and Trends. I believe this is available to PRSA members only.
  2. Scan Bulldog Reporter’s Daily Dog. Free sign-up here.
  3. Scroll through Poynter’s Romenesko media news email. Sign up here.
  4. Read Ragan’s daily PR email. Sign up here.

I’ve also set up a Google Reader RSS feed of 63  PR and media blogs, which I scan here at Google Reader. It’s obviously too long a list to copy into this blog post, but some of the better ones are listed in my blog roll in the right-hand column.

Don’t know how to use Google Reader to follow your favorite blogs? That’s a pity. It’s pretty simple. And it’s a great way to keep track of lots of news and opinions, because all you have to do is scan headlines and then click on them if they interest you.

Did you know that Jon Greer is available to speak to your company or PR agency about PR and media relations? Contact Jon for more information!
