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 a recent Huffington Post article, Grant Cardone asks whether or not PR firms are necessary anymore. Given the recent changes in the media industry and social media as a whole, this is a fair question. But all of those changes make me feel like PR firms are more necessary now than ever before.

I haven’t always had the best luck with airline travel. I’ve had airlines go bankrupt and then my rescheduled connecting flights leave before I even arrive at that destination. Sometimes my luggage gets lost and shows up on the day I go home. And other times my flights get canceled for no reasons that are ever explained to me. So when I booked my plane ticket to Europe about a month ago and discovered that I would have to take both United Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines, I was a little concerned. But it was the cheapest and easiest way to go, so I figured I would go for it. After all, what could go wrong that I hadn’t already experienced?

Imagine running 4 miles in downtown Raleigh on a cold February morning. Then think about stopping halfway through the race and eating a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts as fast as you can. And picture about 6,000 people doing this with you. All in less than an hour.
Clearly this race cannot be good for your digestive system. But somehow the Krispy Kreme Challenge has become a favorite race among Triangle residents. It’s a physical challenge for a good cause – all money raised benefits the North Carolina Children’s Hospital.

You would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard of Paris Hilton. For years, you couldn’t check a news site without reading something about the socialite. But that has all changed over the past several months – Paris is nowhere to be found in the tabloids or gossip magazines.

President Barack Obama may be facing some serious PR struggles on the home front, but a recent decision to attend the crucial, final days of the Climate Summit in Copenhagen instead of the beginning has certainly won him some points with international scientists and other global leaders.

After Adam Lambert’s racy performance at the 37th annual American Music Awards on Sunday, viewers were left with no question about his sexuality. The issue here isn’t about Lambert’s performance on stage – the real problem lies in how Lambert feels about his sexuality and how his record label feels about it.

We've all heard about how the Triangle is a great place to live. That being said, I wasn't surprised to see that the Raleigh-Cary metro area was recently ranked the No. 6 most dangerous city in the country for pedestrians in a recent report released by Transportation for America.

Over the past few years, the environment has become an extremely hot topic, mainly due to increasing discussions of climate change. With this being said, many people are deciding to “go green” and live more sustainable lives. Several companies have also taken the initiative, and McDonald’s is no exception.

So it has finally happened. Facebook went from being a Web site for college students only to an open networking site in which anyone with an e-mail address can join. With this leeway, the youth of America are finding more and more parents signing up for this social networking site. Although kids may not want their parents knowing their every move and their communication styles with friends, this change is exactly what the advertisers want and need during these tough economic times.

A recent case in Arkansas has just been appealed due to the fact that a member of the jury was tweeting before, during and after the trial. His tweets demonstrated bias, and also broke the basis rules of jury duty when he shared with the world that he “just gave away $12 million of somebody else’s money.” Stoam Holdings, the company which lost the money and is appealing, is trying to convince the judge that this juror, Johnathan Powell showed obvious bias.

With technology at such great heights, we are finding ourselves having to come up with newer and quicker ways to communicate with people. Things such as Facebook, a Web site created in attempt to bring college students closer together, have also become more technologically advanced along with the rest of society.
