PRSA Digital Impact Conference – Day 2

Just heard the keynote speaker, New York Times’ David Carr. If you ever have a chance to hear him speak, do not miss it. He’s a paradigmatic journalist and yet as contemporary in his knowledge and outlook as they come. He also has a brilliant, dry sense of humor that will keep you laughing while you’re being educated. It’s a rapid-fire experience – knowledge, insight, levity – all coming at you via a deceptively understated, deadpan delivery. I think the fact that this journalist’s journalist is also the Internet’s “Carpetbagger” captures the conundrum that is David Carr. 

Authored by Joseph DeRupo, assistant public relations director, Public Relations Society of America.
