For two years or whatever, I blogged three times a week about publicity, speechwriting, public relations and scandals for The New York Times’about.com. If you are an author, actor, director, politician, professional athlete, rock star, user of social media or otherwise in the public eye, THESE POSTS ARE USEFUL TO YOU. If you live in an ice cave, you can safely ignore all this stuff and go back to tanning that elk hide.

Sir I am so glad I subscribed to your blog, this information is INVALUABLE to me. I am a music business student at Full Sail University and my sub-concentraton is publicity. I have been working freelance (while still in the Army) in entertainment publicity for more than 10 years to augment my military salary.
While my coursework is very thorough, we do not have a publicity instructor with your credentials to give us the “million dollar” education on the subject.
This is just a thank you for such in-depth information, which I am sure you get a lot of but I wanted to make it personal.
Respectfully,
Jerry Doby
