European Communication Monitor 2009 launched

What will be the major challenges for public relations professionals in the future? Which strategies are relevant in the economic crisis? How influential are communicators within their organisations? How much money do they earn? These and other questions will be answered by the survey "European Communication Monitor 2009", which PR professionals are now invited to join via an online questionnaire.

With more than 1,300 participants from 37 countries in 2008, the European
Communication Monitor is the most comprehensive survey of the profession in Europe. It is run by professors from 11 renowned universities within the framework of European Public Relations Education and Research Association (EUPRERA) together with the European Association of Communication Directors (EACD) and Communication Director Magazine. The first findings of the study will be presented at the European Communication Summit on July 3rd in Brussels. A detailed analysis of the results will be available to all EACD members in book form after the summer.

The survey seeks opinions of PR professionals working in organisations and consultancies. It will take about ten minutes to answer the questions, and all participants will be put into a draw for two stylish Flip Ultra Video Camcorders. The project serves solely academic purposes; privacy is fully respected. The questionnaire is online at www.communicationmonitor.eu until the end of May.
