O’Dwyer’s has released its annual ranking of independent PR firms by fee income. Although there are many in California, there are none in the top 100 anywhere else in the western United States. Johnston/Wells out of Denver is 103, and Lane Public Relations of Portland is 106, followed by Linhart Public Relations at 107, also from Denver.
Congratulations to all of the communicators – journalists and PR pros alike – who were honored at last night’s Idaho Press Club Best of 2007 Awards. Some of the top awards
