“There's a need in PR for "nearness and care,
and for a little love", which "is given only
through slowness in [public] relations." -@gregory

4. What is slow PR?
“Technology has posed a huge challenge to everyone's attention span,
especially journalists. PR pros can now blast thousands of journalists
with the same message with just a few clicks of a mouse. As PR and
marketing departments set their sights increasingly on bloggers and
"influencers" (a loosely defined industry term for any person with more
than a couple Twitter followers), many more civilians' inboxes will face
the assault journalists are suffering right now. Just like any arms
race, the trend has been about figuring how to blast more people more
quickly.
However, social media offers hope. As everyone opens up on Twitter,
Facebook (FB) and other platforms, there's an opportunity to spend
time understanding a journalist's beats and an influencer's interests
like never before. Unlike the days of expensive industry phone books
and fax machines, anyone today can build meaningful relationships
through real human interactions globally using technology. If they use
technology the slow way.” -@gregory
