THE BUSINESS OF MEDIA: GLOOMY 2008

In reading PR Week this week, I came across the following article:

http://www.prweekus.com/State-of-the-news-media-gloomy/article/108192/

which essentially states that the media “business” is in bad shape.

The number of resumes from media folks seeking to transition to public relations in recent months has been nothing short of shocking to me. Simply a tremendous amount of resumes floating around this way (particularly among TV folks).

As Web 2.0 and so called “new media” continues to flourish, expect this trend to continue to grow. Media needs to continue to adjust and grow, and for some that will mean changing fields.

    HelloEvery other blog I have read about Resumes, has been lacking in information. Your insight into Resumes is sooooo much better than anything else I have read. Thanks Michelle
