End of Year News and Announcements

A New Book in the Works
This is my 50th entry and it’s the first one with something about me. I thoroughly enjoy commenting on news and trends, and offering up a new idea here and there. And, it’s gratifying to track how and where this is all being viewed. People from over 50 countries have visited
C-O-I-N-S.

However, some of you have noticed that the blog articles and published pieces in the trades have appeared less frequently in the last month. I have an explanation.

A part of it is the time devoted to reading papers and grading final exams for the Research Process & Methodology course I teach at NYU’s M.S. program in Public Relations and Corporate Communications. I had another great group of students who left, I hope, as more aware users, evaluators and purchasers of research. They will help to further elevate the field, and bring a more rigorous approach to communications planning and measurement.

The other reason, I am very pleased to announce, is that most of my writing energies will be placed toward completing a book on leadership and management. Camelot, Inc. will be published by Praeger and has a planned release in late 2010/early 2011.

I will still comment occasionally here and on Twitter, be involved with NYU and be available to take on consulting assignments in corporate and marketing communications, and issues and crisis preparedness.

I wish you a happy and healthy holiday, and a wonderful year ahead. I’ll look forward to staying in touch.

Paul
