What do you want to see?

Filed Under Blog 

As many of you know, I intern with the Detroit Red Wings and my team lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Friday. Today the team will clean out their lockers and participate in the post-season signing before heading their different ways for the summer. Why do you care? I will now have more time to dedicate to this blog since I don’t intern at the rink during the offseason. Work kept my life pretty hectic, particularly over the last month when I started traveling for the road games so I hope to now pick up the slack.

This leads me into a question for the SPRB readers out there: What do you want to see on SPRB this summer? Please feel free to answer my question by leaving a comment on this post.

I plan on picking up the number of interviews posted to this blog (hopefully). Outside of the informational interviews with professionals in the industry, I’m open to your guys’ comments. Do you want more tips about trying to get an internship or job? Tips on how to write a release? More coverage of sports PR incidents? Or more posts on sports news from a PR slant? I’m obviously going to try to hit a variety of areas throughout the summer, but I wanted to see if there was a specific area or two of particular interest to the great readers of SPRB.

Thanks!

    Love this blog. I think something at least I’d be interested in is the best ways to go about getting sports internships. It’s an area I’m really interested in, but they’re not the easiest internships to get!

    Hi Christy–

    I found your blog through a friend’s blogroll, and I love checking in to see your updates. I’m a junior in college, and I want to work in community relations for a team in the NHL. Personally, I would love to read more about your tips for getting internships and jobs. I’ll be applying for an NHL internship next summer. You obviously know what it takes to make it as a Redwings intern, and I’d be interested in reading what you’ve learned about working in the hockey world.

    Thanks,
    Carrie

    In addition to covering hot topics in sports, I’d like to see you dig into how PR agencies / companies are leveraging athletes as spokespeople in the off-season.

    It’s a double-edged sword. An athlete has more time to dedicate to serve causes, but from a media relations perspective, it can be a tougher sell without the relevance of the season storylines.

    I really like this blog. As a fellow intern, having a blog about what your doing is interesting!
