day 2, my blog, I'm in, at least as a blogger"
Public Relations Indigenous Public Relations, what i thought it was: advertising and marketing! after reading the program outline, looking for a program to apply for, I realized it was much more then that, now that i am here, well there is just so much to learn, only day 2 and i really like where this is all going. always liked to read the newspapers, so picking up a newspaper to study is alright with me.
my pick of the day:
Globe & Mail - Report on Business - pg B7: HBC gets $70 Million Boost
Why did I pick this one? "Promises "Lots of New Things" A new US owner of Hudson's Bay Co. puts money into the company to improve its retail, pay down some debt and looking at opening new stores in the future. there is a quote in the article " Canada is much, much stronger, and much more stable, compared to what going on in the United States". Real estate mogul Richard Baker.
I thought it was good news going out to the public, especially since I myself like that retail store HBC. Reading further into the article the dollar amount are greater and also the new owner & the money is American, which changes my perception, since I would like to see a Canadian being successful, be even better if the change came from an aboriginal indigenous person/money.
my original pick was the front page about President Obama's call to duty, emphisizing "a new era of responsibility" there was a lot of planning to get to this momentous event that had convinced the US citizens to vote in a man of colour as president.
That's it! that's all for today.
