"The 2008 Tribalization of Business" study found that the greatest obstacles to making a community work are not technology-related or getting funding, but getting people involved in the community (51%), finding enough time to manage the community (45%), and attracting people to the community (34%).

In fact, marketing professionals and small business owners now use press releases with just as much frequency as PR professionals, according to a new Society for New Communications Research study, "Exploring the ROI of Online Press Releases," which was sponsored by SNCR Vendor Council member Vocus. Furthermore, the press release was once used to attract the attention of journalists and media outlets. Now, it is used to accomplish a much greater range of goals including reaching bloggers, driving website traffic, and search engine optimization (SEO). The results of the study will be shared in a presentation led by SNCR executive director Jen McClure at the 2008 Vocus Users Conference, which will be held June 4-6 in Washington, DC.

It will address the question: What are appropriate measurements of value today? And it will explore the larger question of how the PR profession is evolving. The SNCR invites public relations and marketing professionals to participate in this research survey.
