Following up on yesterday’s post, The Time Is Now :: Pushing PR Forward – For PR’s Sake, I visited the Going The Distance page at The NewPRWiki.

Steve Rubel posted the following there:

The page is now open to all those who have the wiki edit password. If you work in a PR agency and you’d like one, please contact Steve Rubel or ConstantinBasturea

So, I added this:

The page is now open to all those who have the wiki edit password. If you work in a PR agency and you’d like one, please contact Steve Rubel or ConstantinBasturea (Comment: You cannot be “open to all” and have qualifiers like PR agency. It is either open or it is not. Choose.) Robert French

Well, now Rubel has edited the post – but, still no room at the Inn for education.

The page is now open to all individuals who work as solo PR consultants or inside agencies. If you’d like a wiki password, please contact Steve Rubel or ConstantinBasturea

So, what’s an educator to do?

My question remains: What about the PR educators of the world? Why weren’t they included in this effort?

The focus of this effort – from the beginning – has been about the “PR Community” and “Public Relations” overall. From this vantage point, the effort is not in agreement with the stated principles.

In Kindergarten, one of the first lessons Mrs. Lucky Meagher taught us was – “Share.” From the early days to late in life, some lessons still hold true.

Update: “Academics” have now been added to the list of allowed contributors.

The page is now open to all people with a stake in the future of the PR industry. This includes individuals who work as solo PR consultants or inside agencies, client-side practicioners, academics and vendors. If you’d like a password for this page, please contact Steve Rubel or Constantin Basturea.
