Throughout the years, agencies and PR have changed. But, the push has always been with technology PR leading the way with new tech for PR, and it's still that way. And, guess what, technology PR tools don't work for publicity, because the media are different audiences. Look at my interview with <a href="http://pop-pr.blogspot.com/2005/03/pr-face2facehoward-rubenstein.html" rel="nofollow">Howard Rubenstein</a>.

The subtext of all these "PR is dead" posts seem to be that blogs are the saviours of PR (or blog consultants are the saviours). I just don't buy it, as blog are just another tool of communications, not one to replace regular, good ol' public relations. But, that’s nothing new Dave and David.

I agree that agencies who aren't being thoughtful and smart about this new media landscape will be "forced to adopt or die." Ah, so we are coming to some agreement after all, David.
