Catherine Helzerman, part of IBM’s analyst relations team, is just today kicking off a public relations online forum to discuss aspects of media relations, analyst relations, corporate comms and agency life among others. Log in here.

Meanwhile, Ian Lipner’s From the Frontlines of PR blog is active once more with several recent posts. Ian is a co-worker of mine and the founder of YoungPRPros.com – an eductional group with over 1,800 members. He is wise beyond his years and has 25 hours in each day, so will not doubt have good advice for us all.

And finally, today my firm received yet another aspiring applicant wanting a career in ‘pubic relations’ [sic]. Oh dear.
