There are a lot of PR blogs and bloggers out there – and that’s a good thing.  From Richard Edelman to Brian Solis, many are RSS and TweetDeck mainstays, and whether you follow industry giants or niche writers, some of the most insightful and foreward-thinking blogs about communication, social media and audience engagement are authored by those in the PR space.    With “The New Breed,” we set out find ten PR blogs we could recommend to you that offered a unique mix of content and personality, and gave you some new ideas and fresh thinking when it comes to public relations. 

We started with the BlogRank top 100 PR blogs and picked our favorites based on content, presentation style and verve. We then reviewed each one’s social media presence, focusing on those that are doing a great job incorporating new media techniques into both their content and community engagement.  (Just click on the SlideShare deck below to read the full presentation.)
