Online newsrooms can be built with blog software. In fact, I'm trying to get into the practice of not even using the term "blog" when referring to this kind of implementation. Wordpress and Movable Type are, after all, content management systems (CMS) and have long been used to develop full blown Web sites. The stuctured blogging plugin is the best answer I've found, so far. With time I believe we'll find someone (or some people) to adequately adapt the plugin. I actually did ask Josh some time ago, but he said he couldn't help me on this one. But, that was when I was referring to the Admin section and hacking away in there. Now that I realize it can be accomplished with .xml files, he may be able to help. I just haven't written back to ask again ... yet. :) Thanks. Hey, Kami.

I think that online newsrooms can be easily built on a blog backbone, which is what I hope to do for my new website. A plugin would be useful to many in this community, so I will keep my eyes open for resources in this area. I wonder if Josh Hallett could help?

Any tool that allows students to experiment with new ideas is worth the time developing. I will watch the Social Media Club and the Google group for details on the best practices contest. I have been a member of the newmediarelease group for a while now. Also, if you know of a coder/developer that may help with this, I'd appreciate a lead. I'm even willing to pay for the work, if I can afford it. Your article about higher ed PR preparation caught my eye some time ago. I agree with many of your points. Our program, for instance, requires one internship to graduate. Further, we encourage multiple work experiences and internships. Exploring, adopting and adapting new ideas and technologies - like SMPR and blogs - is just one more way we try to engage our students. I look forward to discussions on these and other issues down the road. Thanks. Thank you, Brian. Any tool that allows students to experiment with new ideas is worth the time developing.

It's people like you that will help propel the efforts behind social media and PR. It will also help prepare students for a brighter future. I recdently wrote on the subject of how many colleges were not adequately preparing PR students and what you're doing here is exemplary. Please make sure to submit this to SocialMediaClub.org when we announce our contest for best practices in SMPR. Have you considered joining the working group?
