    Abstract

    The social media site Twitter has emerged as a recognized tool for public

    relations practitioners. While many public relations practitioners are now aware of

    the ability of social media tools like Twitter to reach target audiences, only a

    comparatively small portion of professionals are actually equipped with adequate

    understanding of the tools to effectively utilize this communications platform.

    This study will examine the existing Twitter tools for public relations practice, and

    analyze past uses of this social media platform for effective public relations

    campaigns. Through anecdotal examination of campaigns, specific tools of

    Twitter are identified and tactics for utilizing these tools are explored . By

    examining these public relations tools and tactics of Twitter, this study seeks to

    provide foundation for practitioners to incorporate social media into their

    standing public relations practices.

    Introduction

    Twitter has emerged as a necessary tool of public relations practitioners . Industry

    wide, practitioners are using the social media micro blog Twitter to disseminate

    messages to publics, pitch stories to journalists, and to bolster the reach of

    traditional PR tools like press releases, media alerts, and promotions . The

    importance and potential uses of Twitter in public relations campaigns are

    thoroughly recognized throughout public relations, however the methods and

    tools for utilizing and incorporating Twitter into campaigns is less clearly

    understood. This study seeks to define public relations tools and tactics of

    Twitter by anecdotally examining effective uses of Twitter in public relations

    campaigns. The tools and tactics identified in this study can serve as a guide for

    public relations practitioners to incorporate Twitter as a supplemental part of their

    campaign tactics

    Literature Review

    Current academic and professional literature in the field of public relations

    illustrates three general trends in Twitter usage among public relations

    practitioners: 1) Public Relations practitioners are increasingly recognizing twitter

    as an influential tool for public relations practice . Conversely, of the public

    relations practitioners who recognize the influence of Twitter, many still lack the

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    4/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 4 of 23

    understanding and tools to actually engage the social media platform. 2) Twitter

    has a fixed number of tools which are available to public relations practitioners to

    supplement existing campaign practices. These tools serve as the vehicles for

    delivering public relations messages to target publics. 3) Current literature also

    shows that journalists are turning to the internet and social media for leads and

    material. These three characteristics identified in current social media literature

    make the argument for incorporating social media into established public

    relations practices.

    The need for discussing the application of Twitter to the practice of public

    relations arises from a more general trend of increasing online social media use.

    According to the 2008 Forrester Research book Groundswellpublished by the

    Harvard Business Press the emergence of social media in public discourse is

    attributed to peoples desire to connect and the availability of powerful

    ubiquitous online technology (Bernoff, pg. 10-11) To illustrate this relationship

    Groundwell cites Tim O Reily, prominent internet observer and founder of the

    term Web 2.0, Technology is just an enabler, its the technology in the hands of

    the almost-always-connected people that makes it so powerful . (Bernoff, pg. 10)

    This power is one that public relations practitioners can leverage for their own

    practice.

    Groundswellquantifies how internet technology is growing to an

    omnipresent medium in communications stating that as early as 2006 nearly two

    thirds of Americans were online. (Bernoff, pg, 10) The large number of people

    using the internet, and the advanced interactive nature of social media today

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    5/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 5 of 23

    creates the opportunity for public relations practitioners to engage a robust public

    through Twitter.

    A recent contributing factor to the importance of social media, in addition

    to the large online public, is the increasing use of social media by public relations

    professionals. A 2008 study, PR Practitioners use of Social Media Tools and

    Communication Technology, published in the professional journal Public

    Relations Review found that 28% of public relations professionals surveyed

    utilized social networking. That same study also found that in 2008 almost 2% of

    practitioners reported using micro-blogging applications such as Twitter in their

    professional use.(Eyrich et al., pg. 413)

    According to a TED.com video lecture by co-founder of twitter Evan

    Williams, Twitter emerged in popularity very recently, in 2007 .(TED.com) Since

    Twitters emergence, the pace of social medias influence in public relations has

    grown significantly. One year after Twitter gained recognition a quarter of public

    relations professionals were using social media and only 2% were using micro

    blogging.

    The same 2008 social media study asked public relation practitioners,

    How prevalent do practitioners see social media in the industry, and found an

    overall perception that social media was being used in the industry. (Eyrich et

    al., pg. 413) The results of this study indicate two important trends. The first is

    that practitioners do in fact recognize social media as an emerging force in public

    relations. The second trend, however, is that while a significant portion of the

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    6/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 6 of 23

    public relations community is engaging social media there is still a portion of the

    profession thats is struggling to adapt to the tool.

    Accounting for the relatively low percentage of practitioners using micro-

    blogging applications such as Twitter compared to more general social media,

    research literatrure indicates that a lack of technological understanding may be

    attributed. The same study comments on this learning gap stating, They

    (practitioners) are slower to integrate more technologically complicated tools that

    cater to niche audiences. (Eyrich et al., pg 414) The results of the survey and the

    conclusions of the study indicate that practitioners are not aware of how the tools

    of twitter can be applied to their profession and also how public relations tactics

    can be translated to available Twitter tools .

    Despite the facet that investigations suggests such a learning curve

    associated with Twitter exists, many public relations professionals have moved

    ahead of the curve, seamlessly integrating Twitter into their public relations

    practices. The 2010 study, Nanoblogging PR: The Discourse on Public Relations

    in Twitter, also published in the professional journal Publication Relations Review

    found that there are indeed professionals adapting to twitter and utilizing it to

    supplement their professional tactics. The study found that out of a sample of

    Twitter messages on the topic of public relations over 15% of those messages

    reflected professional use of Twitter by public relations practitioners and that

    4.3% of those Twitter messages were actually press releases executed through

    Twitter.(Grau, pg 173) This study indicates that now in Twitters third year of

    popularity, public relations practitioners are learning the tools of Twitter and

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    7/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 7 of 23

    utilizing the social media forum to disseminate existing public relations practices

    such as press releases.

    The use of Twitter to disseminate press information is a valuable tool for

    public relations practitioners, especially in the presence of a large journalist

    community on Twitter. A 2009 study in the Public Relations Review journal titled

    An Examination of the Role of Online Social Media in Journalists Source Mix

    indicates that journalists are turning to social media as a source for information

    and leads in writing stories. The study found that 18.5% of journalists surveyed

    identified a social media tool they first utilize when writing a story . (Lariscy et al.,

    pg 315) In addition 24.8% of journalists said that they visit social media sites

    frequently, or every time they are pitched a story. (Lariscy et al. pg 315) This

    makes the argument that stories should be pitched on Twitter because there is

    an audience of journalists to receive them.

    Interestingly, the same gap between the recognition of Twitters

    importance and ability to engage the medium exists in journalists just as it does

    in public relations professionals. This learning curve between the recognition of

    the importance of Twitter, and a slow adaptation means that Twitter is likely to

    continue to grow in relevance to the public relations industry . Also, this slow

    learning curve presents an opportunity for individuals to move ahead of the curve

    by learning how to effectively use the tools of twitter to effectively apply public

    relations tactics. According to the same 2009 study, It behooves public relations

    practitioners to begin engaging social media in preparation for the day social

    media may contribute to agenda building. (Lariscy et al., 2009 316)

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    8/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 8 of 23

    Some in the PR community believe that the day that social media will

    contribute to agenda setting has already arrived. According to Maggie Fox, CEO

    of the Social Media Group Twitter has already risen as the circulatory system of

    the news cycle.(Capstick, 2010 pg 2) Whether Twitter has come to fruition or

    not, it is clear that its influence is rising and public relations practitioners should

    learn the platform if they aim to remain relevant in todays dynamic public

    relations climate.

    The pace at which Twitter has his risen to prominence is notable. It moved

    from an emerging trend in 2007, to a recognized tool in 2008, and in 2010 has

    displayed traction as a functional element of public relations campaigns .

    The increase in popularity of this communication platform, its large online

    audience, its growing reputation in the public relations community, its integration

    into public relations practices by practitioners, and the participation of journalists

    in the forum indicates a significant opportunity for growing public relations uses in

    coming years. These collective characteristics of Twitter demand that public

    relations practitioners asses the tools available on Twitter and design models for

    incorporating public relations practices to this new communications platform.

    Methods

    Using anecdotal analysis of public relations case studies on Twitter, this

    exploratory investigation seeks to answer three research questions: 1) What are

    the relevant tools available on Twitter that can be utilized by public relations

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    9/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 9 of 23

    practitioners. 2) How can existing public relations practices that be incorporated

    with or supplemented by Twitter? 3) What are the situational opportunities and

    campaign characteristics most ideal for employing Twitter in public relations

    campaigns?

    Methodology for researching these questions is comprised of an

    evaluation of multiple case studies. This study identifies three prevalent tools

    used by public relations practitioners in successful Twitter campaigns. It also

    explores the existing application of public relations strategies and tactics that

    have been integrated into Twitter by public relations professionals. Finally

    opportunities for the use of Twitter in public relations will are explored shared

    situational characteristics of executed Twitter campaigns. The overall goal is to

    provide a foundation of tools and analysis of application of those tools to aid

    public relations practitioners in bridging the gap between recognizing Twitter as

    an influential tool and utilizing Twitter as a functional tool within more traditional

    public relations practices.

    Results

    Analyses of Twitter campaigns show that there are three essential tools

    within Twitter for public relations professionals. These three are discussed by

    Evan Williams, cofounder of Twitter, in a video lecture for TED.com. He identifies

    the functions of these tools as in turn as the ability to aggregate news feeds,

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    10/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 10 of 23

    communicate directly with individuals, and the include linked material into Twitter

    messages (Ted.com)

    According to Williams the first tool of twitter capitalizes on the fact that, If

    you have millions of people around the world talking about what theyre doing

    and whats around them you have an incredible resource to find out whats

    happening among any topic, as its going on .(TED.com) The tool being

    described is called a hashtag. Hashtags serve to organize tweets by searchable

    subjects or topics of discussion.

    To understand hashtags, one must understand the streaming messaging

    system of Twitter. Twitter is comprised of streaming messages that an individual

    can manipulate to gather specific information they seek. For example, a user can

    choose to see a stream of messages from a chosen group of friends . This

    stream of messages would update itself in real time as that select group sends

    out message. Similary a hashtag can aggregate real-time feed of Twitter

    messages regarding a particular subject.

    The way this is done is by including the subject of a Twitter message in

    the text of the message and placing a hash symbol (#) directly in front of that

    word. An example of this would be if one wanted to categorize their message as

    falling under the topic of communications they would include #communications

    in their tweet.

    What the hashtag does is create a clickable link out of the word that has

    been tagged. Clicking on that word will take you to a stream of Twitter messages

    where every Twitter Message using the #communications hash tag is posted in

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    11/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 11 of 23

    real-time onto the stream. This system allows users to speak about particular

    subjects, enter conversations about that subject and to find others who are also

    tweeting about the same subject.

    The public relations applications of this hashtag system are important for

    two reasons. First it allows public relations professionals to stay current on

    almost any subject imaginable. Second, it allows public relations practitioners to

    categorize their tweets so that they are more easily searchable by others.

    The listening aspect of this hashtag system is a valuable asset for public

    relations research. According to Steve Rubel, a public relations partner for

    Edelman Digital, Every PR professional needs some level of situational

    awareness about what is going on in a given community at a given time and will

    need to check into Twitter accordingly.(Capstick, pg. 3) The hashtag features

    ability to aggregate Twitter messages into streams by subject provides up to the

    minute research where professionals can gather real time information on the

    subject or event they are interested in.

    The converse function of this hashtag feature, making your Twitter

    messages easily searchable, was executed with great effectiveness by the 2009

    Sunset Strip Music Festival. This music festival consisted of 6 different music

    venues but was branded as one singular event. In order to aggregate Twitter

    messages from six venues referring to one music festival this campaign created

    and utilized the hashtag #SSMF. Clicking on the #SSMF hashtag or searching

    for it by name leads to an aggregated stream where all six venues could talk

    about the event in one central location. This use of the hashtag creates the effect

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    12/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 12 of 23

    of a message board where promoters could announce line ups, publish show

    times or promote deals. This tool also allowed patrons to join the conversation

    about the festival by simply including the #ssmf hashtag in their Twitter

    messages. (Twitter.com/thesunsetstrip, 2009)

    The Sunset Strip Music festival also took their use of hashtags one step

    further. The campaign mentioned the #SSMF hashtag in their hard copy press

    releases. (The Sunset, 2009) Recognizing that hashtags help aggregate news

    into a single feed, the SSMF campaign provided journalists a tool to access

    additional information about the festival, from all six participating venues right off

    of Twitter. This use of hashtags exploited the fact that 18.5% of journalists

    consulting social media when writing stories. (Eyrich, et al., 2008) It also

    demonstrates how hashtags can be used to aggregate relevant Twitter

    messages and present them to the press.

    Another tool of Twitter stems from the desire of twitter users to converse

    with each other. (Ted.com) This tool is the @ symbol which when placed

    immediately prior to a Twitter username in a Twitter messages indicates that your

    are speaking to that particular person. This @ symbol feature is known as the

    @username syntax according to Williams. (TED.com, 2009, online) This syntax

    creates a clickable link within the Twitter message text . This link directs users to

    a stream of all the Twitter messages mentioning that particular user name.

    An effective illustration of this device is illustrated by the Hollywood music

    venue The Roxy. This venue regularly announces upcoming acts, and

    incorporates the @username syntax for mentioning bands that will be performing

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    13/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 13 of 23

    at the venue. (Twitter.com/theroxy, 2010) This allows followers of The Roxy

    Twitter stream to click through and discover what others are saying about a

    particular band, and in some cases leads to Twitter messages with embedded

    videos and reviews.

    Another effective use of the @username syntax tool for mentioning other

    Twitter accounts can be seen on the Beth Krom for Congress campaign page .

    This page utilized the @username system of mentioning others to promote a two

    day 12 city tour of Californias 48th Congressional District. By identifying twitter

    accounts for each of the 12 cities, the campaign was able to target event

    information at individual cities by mentioning each cities username with the

    @username syntax, and loading individual tweets with information specific to

    each city. (Twitter.com/Krom4Congress, 2009)

    This allowed the Beth Krom campaign to target geographic locations with

    customized information for each stop along the tour. The campaign also targeted

    reporters from each city by mentioning them with the @username syntax in

    Twitter messages. By utilizing the @username syntax feature of Twitter, the

    campaign was able to direct their message at geographic locations and at

    targeted individuals.

    The targeting of geographic locations, specific cities, and individual

    reporters can be paralleled to the existing public relations strategy of targeting

    publics. In this way, this Twitter tool was used to execute long standing public

    relations practices.

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    14/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 14 of 23

    The use of hashtags and the @username syntax by these campaigns

    illustrates how the tools of twitter can be used for aggregating information, and

    strategically placing messages within target publics. While most public relations

    professionals are familiar with the idea of research and targeting publics,

    knowledge of these two tools allows for these practices to be executed on

    Twitter.

    The third tool of Twitter is embedded links. While these first two tools of

    Twitter provide public relations practitioners with tools for message placement,

    the third tool relates to the actual message content.

    Twitter allows users to embed clickable links to any internet URL . However

    each Twitter message is limited to only 140 characters, so many URLs are too

    long to include, especially with space for descriptive text . The solution to this

    problem is a host of URL shortners that take long URLs and shrink them to much

    smaller URLs that fit better within the 140 character limit .

    The importance of these URL shorteners is that they allow individuals to

    link to any content, anywhere on the web. This is important because it allows

    public relations practitioners to post a variety of content with their Twitter

    Messages. Many campaigns, like afore mentioned Sunset Strip Music Festival,

    are looking to expand on press releases by utilizing social media. The ability to

    include video, pictures, and links to documents in Twitter is a powerful Twitter

    tool for maximizing the appeal of a public relations pitch.

    Martin Waxman, president of Palette Public relations elaborates on the

    idea of integrating public relations deliverables onto social media in a 2010 PBS

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    15/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 15 of 23

    article titled, Social Media Press Release must evolve to Replace Press Release.

    In reference to digital press releases Waxman states, I like to go one step

    further to create a social media newsroom, with all the information, visuals, video,

    background materials, story ideas and contact easily accessible and searchable .

    (Capstick, 2010) Waxman and others like him are transforming the press release

    into a highly interactive, content loaded model. Twitter, with its ability to link to a

    multiple mediums like audio, photos and video is a tool that can be used to stay

    up to date with the new era of press releases .

    With the use of only three tools, Twitter demonstrates the ability to aid

    public relations professionals in campaign research, strategic targeting,

    innovative message placement and an unlimited ability to link to the copious

    selection of media available online. These three tools provide the foundation to

    execute a vast array of public relations strategies and lend themselves to a

    variety of Twitter specific tactics.

    Although the use of these tools will surely evolve, and despite the fact that

    they could allow for seamless integration with almost any public relations tactics,

    it does serve a purpose to explore campaigns that have employed these tools

    and analyze these models for future use.

    One innovative use of the Twitter tools discussed was executed to

    promote the venues of the Sunset Strip to local patrons. The campaign was

    branded under the hashtag #stripcrawl and was essentially the twitter version of

    a pub crawl. The six prominent venues of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood,

    California were seeking a way to draw crowds to their venues. They decided to

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    16/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 16 of 23

    create an event called the stripcrawl, which utilized Twitter to activate patrons to

    attend the venues. The venues created the hashtag #stripcrawl and promoted

    the event on all six Twitter accounts associated with the promotion. On the day

    of the strip crawl one of the venues announced drink specials for at a set time

    frame through the Twitter interface. Twitter users monitoring the #stripcrawl

    hashtag then congregated at that venue for the drink special. As soon as that

    special was about to end, the next venue announced their drink special. In this

    way the campaign utilized the hashtag #stripcrawl to create a central location

    where drink specials were announced in real time and patrons moved on

    command from one venue to another, eventually moving a standing room only

    crowd to all six venues. (Tweet Crawl, 2009 online)

    Analysis of this campaign reveals a model for activating publics in real

    time on twitter. The model for this campaign has three parts . The first is an action

    request, which in this case is to drink at a stated location. The second element of

    this model is a reward or incentive, in this case it is discounted drinks. And the

    last element is a constraining mechanism such as a time restriction or limited

    quantity of rewards. In a unified statement the model is to provide an incentive for

    an action request that must occur under a constraint of time or quantity.

    This particular model can be seen in other Twitter campaigns as well.

    Lance Armstrong, knowingly or not, utilized the same model for a commuity bike

    ride at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. According to the Los Angeles Times Lance

    sent out the following Twitter message in September 2009:

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    17/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 17 of 23

    Hey LA get out of your cars and get on your bikes. Time to ride

    7:30 tomorrow am. Griffith Park, La Zoo parking lot. See you there.

    (Bloomekatz, 2009) This Twitter message, although subtle, contains all three

    elements of the model previously discussed. The action request is to ride your

    bike at Griffith Park, the incentive is the chance to ride with Lance Armstrong,

    and the time constraint is that the event starts at 7:30 am . Using the exact same

    model as the Stripcrawl, the bike ride attracted hundreds of riders out to the

    event. (Bloomekatz, 2009)

    Clearly the ability to activated masses of people on command is an

    exciting prospect for Twitter use in public relations campaigns . This model is just

    one many more to come as twitter develops in the coming years . Through

    careful analysis of twitter campaigns public relations practitioners can replicate

    models like this and even innovate use of twitter tools to create new models for

    public engagement.

    Another key to utilizing Twitter as an effective tool is to understand the

    characteristics of effective Twitter usage. The most prevalent characteristic of

    twitter is the idea of real time information. In the case of the stripcrawl, it was the

    real time dissemination of the next venue drink promotion that added to the

    excitement of the campaign.

    Other examples of the relationship between Twitter and real time

    publishing of information can be seen in examples where press stories are

    published on Twitter before they hit the main stream press. An example of this is

    highlighted in a MediaShift article titled, The Spill Effect Brought Color,

  • 8/8/2019 Tools of Twitter

    18/23

    Tools and Tactics of Twitter Page 18 of 23

    Collaboration to media Tweets. The article highlights how a breaking political

    story in Australia forced traditional journalists to adapt to the fast paced media

    cycle of Twitter. According to one seasoned Australian reporter, I thought

    working in radio [that] I knew what instant meant, but thats been completely

    redefined now that Ive covered the spill via Twitter. This instant nature of twitter

    is at the core of the communication platform. It is why public relations

    practitioners can turn to Twitter for the most recent updates on a topic, event or

    situation. This instant characteristic of Twitter is one that should be accounted for

    when designing tactics and strategy.

    The final aspect to maximizing Twitter effectiveness is to use all the tools

    of twitter in conjunction. When this is done public relations practitioners are able

    to speak directly at target publics by using the @username syntax. They are

    able to categorize the subject matter for easy searching using the hashtag tool,

    and they are able to provide extended content beyond the 140 character limit of

    Twitter by including a link to external supplemental materials . An example of this

    can be seen in the Beth Krom for Congress Campaigns Twitter Message:

    Congressional Candidate Beth Krom in #LagunaNiguelthis

    weekend.http://bit.ly/4OljrY #CA @LagunaNiguelCA@ocrlagunanig

    uel@lagunaini(twitter.com/Krom4congress)

    In this example the twitter message is categorized under the subject of Laguna

    Niguel, and CA. The link directs people to an event invitation which contains

    directions to the location. Also the message is speaking directly at the Laguna

    Niguel Twitter account as well as two reporters who cover the stories in the

    http://twitter.com/search?q=%23LagunaNiguelhttp://bit.ly/4OljrYhttp://bit.ly/4OljrYhttp://bit.ly/4OljrYhttp://bit.ly/4OljrYhttp://bit.ly/4OljrYhttp://bit.ly/4OljrYhttp://twitter.com/search?q=%23CAhttp://twitter.com/LagunaNiguelCAhttp://twitter.com/ocrlagunaniguelhttp://twitter.com/ocrlagunaniguelhttp://twitter.com/lagunainihttp://twitter.com/search?q=%23LagunaNiguelhttp://bit.ly/4OljrYhttp://twitter.com/search?q=%23CAhttp://twitter.com/LagunaNiguelCAhttp://twitter.com/ocrlagunaniguelhttp://twitter.com/ocrlagunaniguelhttp://twitter.com/lagunaini

    Laguna Niguel community. By using all of the twitter tools in conjunction, this

    tweet was able to garner approximately 10 times more click throughs to the link

    than the average for Twitter messages for the Beth Krom for Congress campaign.

    (http://bit.ly/4OljrY+, 2009)

    Discussion:

    In general, Twitter serves as another channel for public relations

    practitioners to communicate their messages. The tools of twitter align

    themselves well with public relations practices. From research to evaluation the

    tools of Twitter can be a valuable aid to any campaign .

    In the research phase of public relations a practitioner can find information

    by navigating hashtags on any given subject and get real time information and

    opinions on the matter. Additionally navigating the @username syntax can find

    information on individuals, businesses, or organizations. The real time nature of

    this research can aid public relations practitioners in staying up to date on rapidly

    changing situations.

    In the action planning phase of a public relations campaign Twitter can be

    While there are essentially only three tools of Twitter to be mastered by

    public relations professionals, the application of these tools to public relations

    practices is literally unlimited as to their integration with long standing public

    relations tactics.

    While specific campaign applications and Twitter specific communication

    models were highlighted in this exploratory investigation an exhaustive study of

    how the full spectrum of public relations tactics can be executed using the tools

    identified in this paper would greatly advance the practical uses of Twitter for

    public relations professionals. As twitter advances, so will communication

    models and public relations applications for the forum. Studies of the Twitter

    platform are essential to understand the dynamic nature of this forum, and it is

    worth mentioning in this dynamism that what we know about Twitter today will not

    essentially be true tomorrow. Constant monitoring of Twitter trends and

    applications is necessary for public relations professionals to remain ahead of the

    curve in this emergent communication technology.
