	Phil's Blogservations Sunday, June 12, 2005 Posted by philgomes 4:46 PM Entry-Level PR Blogs Entry-Level PR Blogs Now this is interesting. It just last week occurred to me that most of the blogs out there written by PR pros seem to be coming from quite senior-level folks. Entry- or junior-level representation seems a little harder to come by. I met AAE Blake Barbera after yesterday's BusinessWire talk. He's the host of the Wet Feet PR blog — "An Ongoing Look Into Public Relations From An Entry Level Standpoint." I was in high tech PR for about a good five or six years before I started Phil's Blogservations. Necessarily, my blog was informed by my pre-blog experiences, biases, and general "baggage" just as much as the daily goings-on in my life and profession. Thus, someone who is quite a bit newer to PR, blogging, and the working world at-large offers a particularly interesting perspective. There can be arguments for and against someone putting their professional development out in the wild for everyone to see, but I tend to see it as a net gain for everyone. In his note to me the day after the talk: I know there are a lot of entry level PR people scanning blogs for coverage, trends, etc. I created my blog so that they could turn to me to ask questions they might otherwise be embarrassed to ask, share experiences, and so that I could provide the PR industry with an entry level perspective. So far, it's been great! Blake also points me to some other blogs that, at least today, provide some additional early-career perspectives or otherwise relevant content. Stephen Davies This is a public relations and PR related technology blog from Stephen Davies. North East England PR student and University of Sunderland CIPR student representative. Stephen lives in Durham, UK and is currently moving into the third and final year of his degree. Kelly Papinchak: Beginning A Career In Public Relations This Blog was created to serve as a resource for students and new professionals beginning their career in public relations. Behind The Spin Behind the Spin was first produced by students from the College of St Mark and St John, Plymouth, but was quickly opened to students, practitioners and academics across the UK. The print magazine is published three times a year, the blog will updated every Monday. So, if you haven't already, I encourage PR pros at all levels to add these feeds to their aggregators. Personally, I'd like to see more early-stage PR pros blogging and I'd like to see their employers encouraging them, especially agency-side.
