The year 2006 was as exciting a period in communications as I can remember.

Technology drove a lot of it. We talked earlier in the year about topics such as search engine optimized and social media press releases, corporate blogging, new media outlets and RSS distribution. But there were also celebrity and corporate scandals, the advertising vs. PR balance of power, the changing role of journalists, and other similar issues.

In Episode 17 -- Year in Review, I discuss these topics and others with Stuart Fischer, Executive Vice President of the PR firm Robinson Lerer & Montgomery. Stuart has a broad perspective on the PR industry and has some wonderful insights about the year that -- just a few more days now -- was.

Enjoy the podcast and thanks to all of you for listening during the first year of Talking Communications with Farrell Kramer. We'll look to do even better in 2007!
