2010 PR Moment “Behind the Story”

Linda VandeVrede and other PR pundits are interviewed for their predictions on the impact of the digital age on press releases.  “Press releases are now shorter, full of interesting multimedia components, and much easier to disseminate to segmented audiences. My prediction is that press releases will evolve in the next five years and will be called something else, and the traditional format we love to hate will finally dissolve.”
