Reporters gather at award presentation
How many times have you watched or read a news sto­ry and laughed, teared up or were inspired to act or learn more? Chances are, that sto­ry fea­tured a per­son you con­nect­ed with.

As we’ve come to see over the last 18 months, the pro­fes­sion­als in this space are noth­ing if not resilient, cre­ative and hard­work­ing. And their efforts are pay­ing off,...

Two women waving to camera
As I enter my 14th year work­ing in the pub­lic rela­tions indus­try (my eighth with Bell­mont Part­ners), I took some time to reflect on why I do what I do, and why even after a decade and a half, I can’t imag­ine doing any­thing besides pub­lic relations.
