Welcome to episode #15 of For Immediate Release. This week’s panel includes digital communications consultant Chris Abraham, Thornley-Fallis Communications CEO and Inside PR co-host Joseph Thornley, and marketing technology specialist and business strategist Lynette Young. In today’s episode, we covered the following topics:

  • The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has issued explicit new guidance on native advertising. Will this help or hinder the growth of the category?
  • Edelman is closing in on a $1 billion year as it wraps ups its more than year-long restructuring. Does the new structure make sense? Should other agencies follow suit?
  • In 2013, Congress passed legislation that effectively ended the ban on Radio Free Europe and Voice of America broadcasting within the U.S., a prohibition that went back to the 1940s. Have PR practitioners benefitted?
  • Most organizations don’t recognize the downsides to workplace collaboration. How can communicators help prevent or overcome these issues?
  • Share buttons are routine website acourtements, but they can cause significant problems. Do we fix them or ditch them?
  • Dan York’s Technology Report covers the malware attack on Hyatt, the introduction of adblocking to ASUS’ default browser, and the war of words between Medium founder Ev Williams and blogging pioneer Dave Winer (including a discussion by the panel)
