Minnesota replaces Texas as a top 5 state for business! This is great news for our economy and our state!
Minnesota replaces Texas as No. 5 in CNBC's closely watched ranking of "America's Top States for Business," shoving the Lone Star state out of the top five for the first time ever, landing at No. 6. bizjournals.com/twincities/n…

I started this project as a first year Ph.D. student in Dr. Riffe's class. Got 3 rejections before seeing it coming out. A content analysis of Chinese companies' CSR stakeholder engagement practices, and a little nostalgic of my Ph.D. life... tandfonline.com/eprint/FMFXB…

Greg Flugaur calls himself "a nobody." Perhaps that is true. But, as he also says, "I’m a nobody who knows a somebody." And that somebody helped him break the major news of USC's interest in the Big Ten months before national media got the story. lat.ms/3K4vKjh

Ended this summer’s strat comm reading group with @M_Aronczyk @maripapel’s A Strategic Nature (Oxford). A smart take on how PR creates relational meanings, invests in legitimacy, makes publics, and constructs contexts of environmental comms. academic.oup.com/book/39011

So many brilliant nuggets throughout the book. One of my faves is their unique take on PR as an infrastructure that I hope gets picked up more widely in the field.
