Oakland, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2008 -- According to a survey of public relations professionals, nearly 75 percent of practitioners read Bulldog Reporter's Daily 'Dog at least once a week, making the online trade journal the best-read publication in the industry. Survey participants also rated the Daily Dog as the top publication for coverage of public relations news and issues and said they turn to the Daily Dog first when looking for coverage of breaking PR industry news.
Bulldog Reporter publisher Jim Sinkinson noted, "We're elated by the results of this survey, since this is the second year in a row the Daily 'Dog has ranked number one. The numbers show that we're delivering three times more impressions than our nearest competitor every week and penetrating more than 85% of the PR market every month."
The survey also asked "How do you rate [industry publications for their overall coverage of public relations news and issues?" Evaluating 10 leading print and online media, respondents rated the Daily 'Dog their number-one source of industry news. Similarly, respondents were asked to rank online sources of industry news by answering a hypothetical question: "You've just heard about some important PR industry news and you want to learn more about it. How likely are you to go to each of the following online PR news sites for information?" Again, the Daily 'Dog was ranked by respondents highest among five leading online outlets.
The survey of 38,000 PR professionals from across the U.S. was conducted January 23-31, 2008 by MediaBridge, an Oakland, CA-based communications consultancy.
The Daily Dog is a publication of Infocom Group, which also publishes the Bulldog Reporter Business Media, Bulldog Reporter Lifestyle Media, and Inside Health Media subscription newsletters, as well as the National PR Pitchbook media contact directory series. The company also produces the annual Media Relations Summit conference, PR University audio conferences and the Bulldog Awards for Excellence in Media Relations and Publicity.
