There’s a lot of chatter about PR trips, freebies and paid blogging at the moment. I thought I’d add my own views, because that’s what us bloggers do isn’t it.
PR Trips
A few interesting conversations have come about recently, mainly off the back of the Disney trip. Should PR companies target bloggers. Should bloggers accept trips.
