Today Is Equal Pay Day — Pay Gap Persists

I don’t talk politics or religion on my blogs, usually. But the pay gap is a reality, not politics. For today, Equal Pay Day, I am sharing a video from Pew Research Center, that looks at today’s pay gap, its history and the impact of its persistence.

How to figure out ‘who’ vs. ‘whom’ – Grammar Girl video

Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips was one of the first podcasts I subscribed to and remains one of my favorites. Here’s a video I found recently, where Mignon Fogarty walks us through how to figure out when to use “whom” and when to use “who.”

A Ragan Communications video:

Do you sometimes stumble over when to use “who” and “whom”? Are you vexed by grammar questions? There’s an easy fix for that.

Check out the Ragan webcast for corporate and other writers with author, podcaster and writing authority Mignon Fogarty, a.k.a. Grammar Girl. She is joined by Ragan Communications Executive Editor and master stylist Rob Reinalda.

Crisis communications: Going live with an iPhone, G3 and Skype (Ragan video)

Crisis Communications is one of those areas of Public Relations that many people treat like it’s a mystery. And to many, I guess, it is. The fast pace of technology and the changing roles of media have made Crisis Communications a bigger challenge than ever before. And we need to be ready.

I came across this video from Ragan Communications, discussing how (ideally, or not) we are starting to interact with media via mobile devices. I am sharing because it’s an interesting topic. It’s a short video, but worth watching.

I will say, in advance, I haven’t had to do this (go “live” in an interview via Skype off my iPhone), but I can see the probability of it happening in the not too far future. Not I have to get an iPhone that actually supports these activities (mine is really really old).

Enjoy!
