Charticle: PR and Social Media, a Five Year View

Five years ago this month a group of us in the PR industry participated in an online event called Global PR Blog Week. It's hard to believe it's been five years. Bastien Beaucamp has a great rundown but I love this chart he created that provides a snapshot of where we stand as an industry.

It was a real pleasure to do this. The Global PR Blog Week 1.0 was an historical moment. Reading it was like tasting a good wine... it takes value with age. :)

What a telling chart, my how times have and PR people and industry has changed. Seems like traditional media is now the last entity to break a story now.
