This week, we’ve reported that both eBay and Cisco are looking for agencies, and we’ve heard some lofty dollar figures, referring to the amount of business up for grabs (look for Monday’s issue for more). We know some things. But we don’t know everything. Let us know what you’re hearing: keith dot obrien @ prweek.com. Anonymity granted.

We’d like to welcome Irene Chang, our new editorial assistant. Irene comes to us from BabyTalk Magazine, where she was an editorial lifestyle intern.

In a recent podcast, I said that Coca-Cola owns the Aquafina brand. It is actually Pepsi. Apologies for the error.

Our migration to the WordPress template for the Editors’ Blog is now complete. The migration for the other two blogs will be next. If you’re reading this, please stop by with a comment. We’ve announced Awards finalists, our Editors’ Choice, and Book of Lists within the past two months. Surely someone has something to say about it.

A little late, but we finally got around to recording our Editors Choice and Who to Watch podcast. If you were at all curious why we chose who we did, or what sort of criteria we used, you can download the file here. Have a thought? That’s what the comments are for.
Unrelated, PRWeek.com will not be publishing on Martin Luther King Day.

When I took the job of editor, my predecessor Jonah Bloom, now executive editor of Advertising Age, warned me that writing a regular column was harder than it looks. I did not believe him, but he was right. It is difficult to comprehend how your view shifts when you go from being a reporter, truly immersing yourself in a subject every day to root out facts and trends, and becoming an editor, which takes you out of that day-to-day process.
What that means is you have to work harder to keep up with “news”, but you have a much firmer grasp on some of the less-obvious nuances of the industry. Our wonderful blog The Cycle focuses a great deal on breaking news. Now that we have migrated our blog to this new platform (making it much easier to post), my goal is to make the Editor’s section not just a repository for our own publishing perspectives, but a way to comment on the PR world from this specific vantage point.
I hope that readers will also feel the urge to comment - particularly when they disagree. Those who know me how much I dislike silent seething…

If you’re reading this blog post, then we’ve officially switched over to the WordPress Multiple-User platform. If you’ve tried commenting before and got annoyed by the registration, you will be happy to note that comments are now unregistered. Comment away; we’ll be here. They are, however, moderated, but I think they go straight up after you’ve been approved once.
Plenty more to come in 2007.
The Editors’ Blog provides both information and issues relating to PRWeek and PRWeek.com, as well as posts about the industry from senior editors.
