PRNEWS spoke to Tayler Felix of Workday on best practices for utilizing LinkedIn newsletters.

This week’s PR Roundup follows Cision’s upcoming shutdown of Connectively, formerly known as HARO, the mass exodus of users and brands from X (formerly Twitter), and a new study featuring the pros and cons of AI for digital PR.

This week’s PR Roundup features an analysis of Jason Kelce’s crisis response, advice on how brands should respond to the X blocking lift and a link to the latest Muck Rack State of PR Measurement report.

Muck Rack’s State of PR Measurement revealed communicators’ conflicted relationship with measurement itself. 89 percent of survey respondents said demonstrating the impact of their work is the main purpose of measurement.

PRNEWS attended a Chief Communications Officers Roundtable on Emerging Trends and Tactics in which panelists discussed innovative strategies used to connect with their audiences.
