Inside PR #39 - Tuesday, December 26, 2006

insidepr_300x300_logo.jpgThis week, Terry and David lament IPR #38, a low-energy snoozecast, and pledge to pick it up here in #39. Terry and Dave talk about government relations as a sub-discipline of PR. Chris Clarke is enjoying a holiday break this week in his hometown of Timmins, Ontario but will return with his regulary commentary in IPR #40 or #41. Terry closes the show with this week's segment of Inside PRoper English.
