For Immediate Release #105: Center Stage for Credible Sources

Neville and Shel got together for the September edition of The Hobson & Holtz Report to talk about these topics:

  • The self-inflicted downfall of the UK PR agency, Bell Pottinger (and kudos to the PRCA for putting teeth in its ethics code)
  • How various fields will be affected by speech recognition (including PR and communications)
  • Mitch Joel’s open letter to the advertising industry: Let’s not mess up ads for voice
  • The proliferation of fake scientific journals (and what it means for the PR industry)
  • The Pew Research Center has identified five “types” of people who search for facts and information, with implications for content marketing
  • Are Americanisms killing British English (and does it matter)?
  • In his Tech Report, Dan York explains why “Gutenberg,” the WordPress editor, may take longer than expected to appear. Dan also talks about the launch of the new Internet Society website.
