When JSW came out it was a revelation, pushing the possibilities of the Spectrum beyond what anybody thought was possible. And a damn fine and addictive game it was too.

I would start talking about Frogger but might start showing my age even more.

]]> Comment on Article on blogging in PR Week (UK edition) by Sarah Lafferty http://stephenpritchard.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/article-on-blogging-in-pr-week-uk-edition/#comment-18 Sarah Lafferty Wed, 02 Apr 2008 07:54:50 +0000 http://stephenpritchard.wordpress.com/?p=42#comment-18 I think you and Robin are both right. You are absolutely right about clients' budgets not being able to stretch into willy nilly targeting of on-line writers. Given that budgets are lower on average than 10 years ago and the cost of doing business has risen by about 50%, we can't even target all the print media. PRs need to think more like advertising media planners and price campaigns based on the number of meaningful outlets where they can build meaningful dialogues and relationships. This includes high quality print publications, freelancers and some bloggers. However, most of the bloggers I target also happen to be journalists. I think you and Robin are both right.

I'm always trying to distinguish there are different commercial iterations (I think there's stylistic differences too). After my time spent with Shiny trying to get PRs to engage with the writers professionally, championing a blanket approach of PRs staying away from bloggers makes their job just that little bit harder.
