It's not that the other P.R. folks *happen* not to know that they should be immersing themselves in the social-media world, but rather than they're not even in that frame of thinking at all -- and might not recognize it even if it bit them in the seat of the pants.

If you ask, you'll get a no. If you tell them, they just figure you know what you are doing and pay for it. And, it always came back to information that was good for clients (if they knew what to do with it). Which is why I never asked to go to events, I just told them I was going to events for work.

PR folks in my experience spend the least on training. Not saying this is in all agencies...but in my experience anything not billable comes under scrutiny. If it incurrs a cost on top of that....GASP. We're cheap and missing the bigger picture/opportunity. Well that digs up the whole training issue. PR folks in my experience spend the least on training.
