Blogs of My Classmates

This week my blog will be discussing the blogs of my classmates. The two blogs I chose to write about are from my classmates Mara Yamnicky and Ashley Benisatto. These two blogs out of the couple of other classmates blogs I read were the best in my opinion because they were interesting enough to make me wanna read their whole blog and both blogs taught me things I didn't know before. 


In Mara's Blog discusses public relations campaigns in the United States. In her first blog she talks about a ad campaign done in France for McDonald where they had a father and son going to McDonald and it is suggesting that the son is gay but his father doesn't know. The commercial ends with the words "Come as You Are” to show that McDonald is accepting of his sexual orientation. She goes on to discuss the pros and cons of this ad campaign.  In her second campaign she talks about ethics in American PR and gives examples of ethical and unethical campaigns. In her third blog she discusses PR research in campaigns and comparing U.S. and U.K. studies on the subject.


In Ashley's Blog she discusses crisis management in the world of PR. In her first blog she talks about how  came up with idea to do her blog on crisis management. In her second blog she  discusses the ethics of PR relating to crisis management and she gave examples of ethic and unethical ways people handle crises.  Her third post was about religion in politics and how a bad reputation isn't as bad for someone running  for political office as it was in the past.
