European Communication Monitor explores future trends in public relations and communication management. It is an international research project conducted by ten universities, conducted through an online survey which runs until June 30.
Here's the announcement...
The European Public Relations Education and Research Association (EUPRERA), a network of leading scholars from more than 30 countries, announced the start of the most ambitious survey in the field of
communication management and public relations. The "European Communication Monitor 2008" addresses PR professionals in organisations and consultancies throughout Europe. The online survey at www.communicationmonitor.eu runs until the end of June. It will take about ten minutes to answer the online
questions. All participants will receive a full report of the results and be included in a draw for three Apple iPod Shuffle music players. The project serves solely academic purposes; privacy is fully respected.
The public opinion market in Europe is converging and so are the public spheres where information is shared and reputation is built. Lead researcher Ansgar Zerfass, professor at the University of Leipzig, remarked, "Public relations is facing new challenges. Our survey tries to identify strategies and approaches that are relevant for future business."
The survey will be conducted for the second time. It attracted more than 1,100 participants last year and showed up a number of valuable results. This year's topics include strategic issues, upcoming communication channels, new media, corporate social responsibility, evaluation, agency relationships etc.
