Comments on: The New Rules of Breaking News, Beware of Embargoes http://www.briansolis.com/2007/11/new-rules-of-breaking-news-beware-of/ Defining the convergence of media and influence Mon, 21 May 2012 01:59:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Patricia http://www.briansolis.com/2007/11/new-rules-of-breaking-news-beware-of/comment-page-1/#comment-1602 Patricia Sat, 17 Nov 2007 03:40:00 +0000 http://70.32.83.183/2007/11/16/the-new-rules-of-breaking-news-beware-of-embargoes/#comment-1602 This is a great article, Brian! I really believe the lines between media and blogs are going to significantly blur in the coming year and that many bloggers need to be very careful of what they do and how because PR firms, while focusing on them now, will start to back away as more of bloggers break the rules, put demands on them, or break trust. These kinds of problems were rarely seen in traditional media (at least in my 9 years of PR experience), and at the end of the day, the only loyalty business has, really, is to itself. Clients, and ultimately their firms, will go with who is reliable, trustworthy, high traffic and most of all, who gets them the best exposure. I'm not sure that it'll be blogs down the road. <br/><br/>Just my .2 :) This is a great article, Brian!
