I thought Germaine Greer's article on Michael Jackson was excellent - it got to the crux of what the Michael Jackson phenomena was about - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jun/26/michael-jackson-death-in-la

RE: Germaine Greer writes about Michael Jackson - sensibly
By: RachelU,

My goodness, what a great summary by Greer. Couldn't have put it better myself, so good to see some quality opinion amongst all the trash.
He had a troubled life, but really I think he was the kid that never grew up, and while he mightn't have thought through actions, I think he embodied the innocence of a child, which was sadly mistaken for something more sinister.
He will not be left alone even in death, and it is as though God took him while he was still a child, before he risked destroying his image, just like Germaine states.

How many hours did I spend blowdrying my hair into the Farrah Flick-back as a teenager - many, many, many hours!
I also recall being 10 yrs old when Michael Jackson's Ben was released - and then being appalled that it was about a rat!

This is a link to a "social media release" issues by Bigpond. There is some debate (yes, on Twitter, I've been won over to a degree) as to whether this is what makes a social media release. Do we have any thoughts on this? This does pick up on some of the elements we've talked about in classes in public relations. However, just because we can do it, should we be doing it? Who is our audience?

It's interesting how many 'media releases" posted on organisation websites seem to be less about alerting the media to anything than simply doing an advertisement or even having a sanitised corporate history of "events" and initiaitves available to audiences.

If Twitter.com haven't rolled out a wide scale PR campaign across Australia I'd be very surprised. Suddenly everyone on Nine and Nine MSN, Austereo radio programs (KOFM, SEAFM, WSFM etc) and now even the ABC are talking about Twitter and are on Twitter, encouraging audiences to join the Twitter set. One Uni of Newcastle academic has received no less that 4 media requests this week to talk all things Twitter. Keep an eye and ear out and see whether you can see it happening!!

Call for Academic Papers - Academic Forum 2009
Sunday 25 October - Queensland University of Technology
The National Conference of the Public Relations Institute of Australia will be held in Brisbane in October, 2009. An academic forum will be held on Sunday 25 October, the day before the national conference begins.
The committee is calling for papers for review for either the refereed (double-blind peer review) or non-refereed streams of the academic forum. Refereed papers will be published in the Asia Pacific Public Relations Journal in December 2009.
The forum aims to contribute to the public relations body of knowledge and provide an opportunity for the discussion of learning and teaching issues faced in our discipline. Topics could include any area of public relations theory and/or practice or any pedagogical issues concerning public relations and communication. Papers should present original work that has not been published or is not being reviewed for other conferences or journals.
Closing date Monday, 13 July. Read more: http://www.pria.com.au/development/cid/154/parent/0/t/development/l/layout

Thanks for this Lauren - I saw this on SilkCharm's Twitter entry so it's obviously doing the rounds - very interesting isn't it.
There is a story about how Twitter usage has increased 1000% since the beginning of the year - I triumph for the probable PR campaign run by Twitter. Read more here; http://www.smartcompany.com.au/internet/20090428-twitter-records-1000-growth-in-australia-2.html
