Help wanted

Did you ever feel there were too many books, too many journals - in short, too many words - for you to make sense of your assignment? What you needed was a summary to get you started, and sources for further study.

Imagine what the web looks like to a newcomer; even within a small community like PR student bloggers, there are so many voices, so many thoughts, so many words.

Forward helps because it acts as an aggregator; a pulling together of some of the best, with links to much of the rest. Communities work because of ‘the wisdom of crowds’ and because they create their own culture.

That’s why I’m inviting Forward readers to take a look at my draft guidelines for PR student blogs. I don’t expect to have anything new to say to you; you’re already the experts. I’m hoping that you can add to my thinking and so help out new PR students who’ll be enrolling in September (and who, today, may know little of blogs - or PR).
