WVU Marketing Communications Today

Leaner staffs, fewer journalists in the newsrooms, and a growing suspicion regarding the integrity of earned media have placed the PR profession in potential peril.

But join us, as we explore what has changed in media relations including AI, the rise of live audio, niche publications, and paywall journalism.
