The Same Rowdy Crowd

A few weeks ago I was quoted in a Business Journal article saying that I thought that Minnesota had one of the best, most thought provoking PR communities in the world. In past month three electronic tools for public relations professionals have been started here in Minnesota. I told you about Public Relations Chat and Truth In PR last month, now another blog has come to my attention, help me welcome The Same Rowdy Crowd.

According to the site, The Same Rowdy Crowd was started by five guys who combine idiot idealism, a hairball or two of cynicism and an irresistible urge to shoot our mouths off about communication – good, bad and stupid.

We’ve been doing it for years in boardrooms, newsrooms, bars and the op-ed pages; amazingly, each of us has made a living in communications for decades. Some of us have worked for newspapers, some for government, some for companies large and small. Now we all work for ourselves, and we’re ruined for real jobs.

Rowdy crowd contributors include; Mark Andrew, Jon Austin, Bruce Benidt, Tony Carideo and Joe Loveland. To find out more about each of them, click here.

Looks like the Minnesota PR community is continuing to grow!
