The IABC Heritage Region recently hosted Ned Lundquist and I for a webinar. We presented a sampling of the findings – along with analysis – from the 3rd Annual JOTW Communications Survey for 2020.
The full report is more than 60 pages, but we focused on these seven areas during the webinar:
- Effects of partisan politics
- Budget and challenges
- State of media relations
- Media bias and PR ethics
- Top PR and comms tactics; and
- PR measurement
This week, Greg McCormick, communication chair for the IABC Heritage Region made the recording (and embedded below), webinar slides and some written answers to 10 questions we didn’t get to during the Q&A portion available. No registration is required.
I’d like to extend a special thanks to Steve Lubetkin, who expertly produced the show (seriously, watch it and see!), and Amy Miller for managing the project. You can check out forthcoming (and past) webinars by the Heritage Region here.
If you haven’t signed up for Ned’s Job of the Week Newsletter — please do — it’s free for both employers and job seekers and it’s filled with jobs across PR, public affairs, communications and marketing.
Here’s the recording:
