Merging Internal and External Communications

Fir The lines between internal and external communication are blurring. Yesterday's corporate boundaries are fading say communications experts Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson. Examine this phenomenon with them by tuning into the Feb. 9th podcast of For Immediate Release: The Hobson & Holtz Report, a twice-weekly commentary on public relations and technology.
