I joined PROpenMic back in February, but I never took advantage of all the amazing things it has to offer until I had to write this blog post. I found that this website is so important and useful to me because it is only open to people in the Public Relations profession. It is open to students, faculty, and practitioners all in the field that I wold like to be a part of in a year! That's kind of scary to think about. This website can really help me get over that fear by having a new network of PR professionals to turn to for my many questions and to find answers.
It also is such a great way to see other PR people's opinions on everything that is going on in the world around us. A few weeks ago I got on PROpenMic. It was the day after the shootings at UGA. There were so many videos and articles from so many different sources. I could find out anything I wanted to know about the incident. It was amazing that there was so much information of PROpenMic so fast. It also helped me learn the whole story. Sometimes one news source doesn't have everything. You might have to visit a few sites to find everything you needed, but with PROpenMic, it was all right there.
I haven't used PROpenMic much because it is so difficult to keep up with so many social networking websites. Hopefully this summer when I'm not taking a full load of classes, I'll be able to utilize the site and learn more from it.
