New Podcast Up: PRobecast 16: Apple/Engadget, Diversity, Preakness pick

Just posted episode 16 of PRobecast, Topaz Partners’ weekly PR-related podcast
[splashcast VBMB8367UC]

This week, Adam Zand and I discuss:

1. Engadget runs with a bad tip that affects Apple‘s stock price. Are we ready to hold new media to old media standards?
2. Adam attended the Advertising, Marketing & PR Industry Diversity Job Fair and Leadership Conference in Boston and spoke with Steve Etzler of the Business Development Institute.
3. Do blogs need edcals? Will they provide edcals? Doug explains why he doesn’t expect to see it happen.
4. I give a recap of the PRSA Yankee Chapter social media workshop he conducted with Chip Griffin of CustomScoop, and we both recount the Social Media Club Boston “Getting a Second Life” event.
5. The media are for telling stories: Adam discusses a recent radio story on the family of a slain American soldier serving in the Iraq war.
6. Bright Side of the week goes to “Kid Nation,” the new CBS reality show featuring kids. We can’t wait for Fox to rip this off.
7. What to do this weekend: celebrating the Red Sox as their lead over the Yankees approaches 10 games: Adam picks the Preakness— “Street Sense,” if you must know.

Raise your glass of crab cake cocktail and toast the completion of another PRobecast episode!
