Visions gets a mention in the latest issue of University Business magazine. UB columnist Karine Joly (who also blogs at CollegeWebEditor.com) writes in her latest column, PR on the Web 101, that blogs like this one can be important components of a university's public relations strategy.
Joly also quotes Angie Weidinger, a TV reporter at KOLR-10 in Springfield, Mo., who refers to Visions as a source for information. "I generally check several universities' websites and blogs if they have them," Weidinger says. "UMR's research blog is very helpful because it often has stories on it that highlight some of the students' or professors' unusual research projects. It's a great place to go for story ideas."
"Media reporters," Joly writes, "not only visit institutional websites, but they also read the available blogs or RSS feeds."
