Rachel Newton commented on Kristin Wahpepah's blog post 'Digital Abuse'

Regulations on the Internet are nonexistance. But, you can't really have regulations without someone throwing a fit about their 'right to speech' and so on. I think its terrible how people 'abuse' the internet' but i guess we all sign up for that wh…

Rachel Newton commented on Jon Nobles's blog post 'The stress, or lack there of, of finals week'

I completely agree with your thinking. If people would put the emphasis they do on finals on all the rest of the tests during the year, finals wouldn't be AS stressful. The only way that gets complicated are with professors who only give a midterm a…

Rachel Newton commented on Stephanie Burke's blog post 'Building a Relationship on Social Media'

I think that social media accounts should direct people to a their Web sites. I think Web sites can hold more information and be monitored and controlled more than a social media site. I do beleive it is a necessity to have a social media account th…

Rachel Newton commented on Carolyn Siska's blog post 'What? and How?'

I had never thought about the different prices of things in different countries being such an issue. It's exciting that you got the opportunity to be in a different place and get a different outlook on the industry. Good Luck to you and what you do…

Rachel Newton commented on Amy Wilson's blog post 'CEOs Are Social Media Slackers'

Wow, this surprised me. You would think the CEO, of all people, would be up-to-date on how to communicate with today's audience. However, I guess this will be the 'new thing' for PR interns to be in charge of. haha. Thanks for the link, can't wait t…

I'm waiting for the first Social Media Anonymous; for people who are truly addicted to using social media and technology. My parents are building a campground in the middle of no where, which means no internet and limited cell phone reception...some…

I love this. It's so true. I pay way more attention to what people are wearing than I do to acutal billboards on the side of the highway.

kelsey elledge commented on Rachel Newton's blog post 'Public Relations in a College Student’s Everyday Life: Word of Mouth'

You guys are right about the word of mouth thing. Studies have shown that when someone is pleased with a product or service they tell 3 or so people about their good experience but when they're not pleased, they will share their bad experience with…

Tiffany McMillen commented on Rachel Newton's blog post 'Public Relations in a College Student’s Everyday Life: Word of Mouth'

So true! Word of mouth is definetly what people rely on. People are so much more likely to believe what someone tells them as opposed to finiding out for themselves. For example, when I make a big purchase, I usually read the ratings on them and ask…

Public Relations in a College Student’s Everyday Life: Word of Mouth

In my opinion, this is the best and most effect way college students can be involved in Public Relations in their everyday lives. It is word of mouth.

Word of mouth (WOM), as described in the Public Relations Blogger Glossary, is “the advertising of a product or brand that takes place between customers. This is promoted through ‘people networks’.

Though WOM is a little different than what one might define as advertising, it is a way that consumers and potential buyers become aware of your prod… Continue

Public Relations in a College Student’s Everyday Life: Raise money through searching the Internet…no joke!

Being a senior at Oklahoma State University, I hear what college seniors in Public Relations want to do with their degree upon graduation. Surprisingly, many of my classmates aren’t looking to enter the Public Relation corporate firm world, but instead the world of the non-profit. I have been fortunate enough to work with a new, small non-profit foundation called The Newton Foundation. The Newton Foundation is an organization that exists to build, maintain and promote excellence in Christian edu… Continue

Public Relations in a College Student’s Everyday Life: Responsibility in Social Media Sites

Responsibilities with your social media site.
In my last blog, I talked about how your personal opinions are easily available on public issues through social media sites. Now I would like to take a little time to talk about my top 3 responsibilities everyone should take upon themselves when using a social media site.

1. Be Honest and Accurate.

Don’t be part of the ‘rumor mill’. Social media sites are notorious for spreading information quickly and vastly, even information that is untrue. Still… Continue

Twitter. Facebook. Myspace.
Personal Opinions on Professional Subjects.
Are you aware of the new addiction? I’m sure you are fully aware of the addiction to social media sites. It has become such an addiction that individuals cannot stay away from it. Our social media sites are no longer confined to our computers in our homes; they are with us everywhere we go via cell phones.
