"Thanks Sands, In your previous entry you raised some important issues. How do PR's engage with bloggers, and do the same rules apply as with traditional media. I doubt this is the case as most bloggers work for themselves and they generally do…"

Bloggers: what's your pleasure?

"I have to agree, Leaving some comments on popular threads, starting some discussions and so forth will paint a very clear picture of what angle could be used to approach the blogger and his/her audience. There's definitely room for this."

Do bloggers want to be treated like media?

Hi there,I work for a PR firm.  We send the traditional media news and press releases on a continual basis.  Sometimes a story is about tech, so we send these to the ICT journalists, sometimes about retail, so the retail beat guys get those, etc.  There are a lot of bloggers in SA.. and I assume that bloggers want information to use as content for their blogs.  Do you want this?  Do you want to be invited to media briefings and events that are central to your blog theme?  And.. the big…See More
