Despite all of the cuts within the media industry lately, the home magazine sector managed to triple its number of titles between 2005 and 2010. Granted, the beginning of the 5-year period was during 
the housing craze, but it is still remarkable that these publications have remained in existence during this economic downturn.

In case you missed it, I appeared on ABC11 on March 15, 2010 discussing Rielle Hunter’s GQ article. To view it, select the video titled, “Rielle Hunter bares all in magazine video.”

John Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter, recently participated in a tell-all interview with GQ. In the interview, for which she says she was not compensated, Hunter reveals every salacious detail about her affair with Edwards and poses for some questionable photos , including one with her and Edwards’ daughter.

The value of an effective communicator doesn’t come from a broad vocabulary (Scrabble winners aren’t always the best writers), or who can shout the loudest (Keith Olbermann, Bill O’Reilly and Stephen A. Smith need not apply). The best communicators can convey ideas and concepts with clarity to both a college professor and her fifth-grade son.

The fact that celebrities hire lucrative PR reps is no breaking development, but what I think is the most telling when it comes to celebs being PR-savvy is how they act on award nights, especially the Oscars.
I like to look at awards season as a PR final exam. Everything celebrities have been paying a team of highly-trained people to do is put to the test, and the public gets to evaluate how much they have – or have not – learned about basic PR.
