Cision names Western Europe’s leading photography blogs
Photography blog rankings for UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland as Cision expands Media Updates to Scandinavia London, November 24, 2009 – Cision, the leading provider of media research, distribution, monitoring and analysis services to the public relations industry and other communicators, has published a ranking of the leading photography blogs in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Taken together, these lists constitute the most influential photography blogs in Western Europe. Three types of blogs emerged from the analysis: those discussing industry trends, personal blogs used as online journals, and blogs used by professional photographers as a marketing tool. There were clear regional differences in the type of blogs most prominent in each market. “As always, our latest blog rankings make for fascinating reading, all the more so now that we can make richer international comparisons” said Falk Rehkopf, Head of European Research at Cision. “There is a personal diary element to the majority of photography blogs in Finland and Norway, while in Germany we find mainly product reviews, even corporate news – and in the UK it’s artists using blogs for self promotion who dominate.” Previously, Cision Research Europe has issued blog rankings for the UK and Germany, focusing on topics as diverse as PR, parenting, comedy, education and science. The Photo blog rankings coincide with Cision’s launch of an expanded range of Media Updates, which provide a round-up of the latest changes in media, keeping readers up to date with the highest profile industry activity, from publication launches and closures and journalist moves, to new blogs and Twitter accounts to watch. Prior to the expansion, the Media Updates had covered media in France, Germany, the UK, USA and Canada. Subscribers can choose to receive the new Media Updates in English or in local languages. “We’re delighted with this latest expansion to our Media Updates,” said Filipe Pereira, EMEA Research Manager at Cision. “The Updates provide a vital insight into a rapidly evolving European media industry, hugely valuable for communications and media professionals alike.” See the photography blog rankings: http://www.uk.cision.com/Resources-page/Top-Photo-Social-Media/ Learn more about and subscribe to Cision’s Media Updates. http://www.uk.cision.com/Resources-page/Media-Bulletins-Registration-Form/ - ENDS - About Cision: Cision (www.cision.com) empowers businesses to make better decisions and improve performance through its CisionPoint software solutions for corporate communication and PR professionals.
