From PR Week:
During the nascent days of blogging, when both emerging and large corporations were firing staffers for blogging-related offenses, the jury was out on whether blogging was a nefarious habit, to be hidden when applying for jobs, or a positive career move.
The recent ascension of two high-profile bloggers – Steve Rubel, formerly of CooperKatz, and Jeremy Pepper, formerly of his own firm Pop PR, who were hired by Edelman and Weber Shandwick, respectively – suggests the negative valence of blogging has turned positive. Indeed, today’s more pressing question isn’t whether you can get a job if you blog, but, rather, whether you can get a job without a blog.
