Many corporations are increasing using social media in their communication strategies, and aspiring PR professionals such as Paull Young are easily establishing themselves in the industry based on their expertise of such tools. One future trend that I anticipate is the increase of telecommuting in PR. Digital technologies have already facilitated this move over the past decades, and a more central role of social media in PR may almost necessitate it. Having geographically dispersed employees who save time driving in to work can not only be more productive, but will also have greater job satisfaction, and more likely to increase their availability to deal with communication crises during off-hours.
