The kind folks at the Cision Navigator have taken an interest in my latest article, "To PR or not to PR...PR is not a verb!" and have it posted on their site (along with a near life-size version of my headshot).

There is a significant difference between a PR firm and a publicist – which allows me illustrate my point: all publicity is PR, but not all PR is publicity.
