6 PR Resources on the Web … Plus Some Bonus Sites to Bookmark

There are some incredible public relations resources being posted on the Web for free that can be adapted and applied to the local church … here are some great action-packed, tips-loaded, “steroid-induced” links I’ve found:

1. PR 2.0 Essentials Guide (PDF) — Some 30 pages of everything you want to know about doing PR on the Web from podcasting to blogging and more
… loaded with practical tips you can implement today

2. THE Press Release of the Future (But Actually the Present) | PDF version — Super cool, wish I had thought of it … a new, outstanding way to pitch news on the Internet (Links via Micropersuasion — a site also loaded with PR stuff)

3. The PR Toolkit — An absolute gem from PRNewsWire.com … go there now

4. 10 Tips on Being Interviewed — excellent advice from ProBlogger.net that can be used for traditional media as well

5. Getting Your Church and Event in the Newspaper (PDF) — Drawn from my years as a newspaper reporter and editor

6. PR 101 Workshop MP3 Audio — A recent talk I gave to a Christian writers group

BONUS SITES TO BOOKMARK: Some Christian sites I really like that talk of PR and/or communication:

Simply Strategic Guy Tony Morgan — One of the pastors at Granger Community Church … offers an excellent, content-loaded site, his “Strategic” book has very appropriate comm. material

Less Clutter’s Kem Meyer — Communications director at Granger Community Church … is one of the pacesetters in the field
