	Phil's Blogservations Thursday, August 25, 2005 Posted by philgomes 8:16 PM Duck! The PR Flaggelation Meme Returns! Duck! The PR Flaggelation Meme Returns! "The evolutionary path is better and better content." - Dave Taylor, Blog Business Summit, San Francisco, Aug. 17, 2005 I had actually put this quote into a presentation an hour before I came across the latest "PR is dead" round-robin, first by way of Kevin Dugan. I'm not exactly sure how resurrecting this tired, quarterly-to-semi-annual PR-flaggelation meme necessarily moves the ball ten yards closer to the goal implied in the statement above, but it sure got a lot of attention, didn't it? The fact is, when I read the PR blogs from veterans and newcomers alike, I see that the best in the profession are changing and adapting to new technologies and forms of communications. Sure, there have been missteps along the way — which are easy and sometimes even fun to ridicule — but I really feel like the industry has owned up to them and moved on. This recurring meme is a distraction and this post will be the last time I bring it up. Team... Let's concentrate on elevating the profession — learning chess while others might be satisfied to master checkers.
