PR Changes examines social media and PR

Three journalism and communications faculty members at Auburn University (academic home of social media guy Robert French) have launched PR Changes, a blog designed to explore how social media is affecting the PR business. In their inaugural post, the profs pose two questions for PR practitioners:
