The most-read PRsay posts of 2025 tell a clear story about what communicators are wrestling with — and where they’re leaning in.

Readers gravitated to practical writing advice (from email subject lines to career-proofing content skills), AI’s growing influence on search, careers and daily workflows, and a renewed focus on authenticity and human judgment, whether that’s finding the emotional core of a story, knowing when to speak out as a brand or navigating rebrands in a skeptical marketplace.

Taken together, these posts reflect a profession balancing speed and strategy, technology and trust. Communicators want tools they can use immediately — but they’re equally hungry for guidance on how to stay relevant, credible, and human as AI reshapes how messages are created, discovered, and judged.
