Still Not Getting It: Only 42 percent of public relations practitioners surveyed by the Dallas chapter of the IABC believe that media relations professionals should be expected to deal with blogger critics. Slightly more (46 percent) believe bloggers should be dealt with by customer relations departments. In other words, half of the PR people in Texas still don’t consider bloggers to be legitimate media. Hopefully they have CEOs or marketers or someone among their colleagues who’s thinking is not quite so mired in the 19th century.
