I'm grateful for both experiences because it has made me realize that PR is a fluid art. You are representing the experience of your clients. I think Guy Kawasaki is the model "evangelist" and publicists who adopt his type of relational, community oriented engagements are well served. In terms of "buzzword merchants," it should be pretty easy to spot the trolls from the trailblazers. PR managers will become more like community managers- constantly adding to the conversation, inspiring dialog, defending intent, sparring and thus serving the needs of editors better.
