Dishing Out Latest Trends In Restaurant PR

Jen Bloomer and Monique Smallow of Maroon PR talk with Suzanne Loudermilk about restaurant PR and how it's changing because of the growing digital landscape. Social media now brings together PR professionals, restaurants, and the media in a new way. During this episode, we discuss how social media limits the ability of reviewers to remain anonymous, improves research, makes discussions about food more exciting, and leads to many other challenges and benefits as well. Suzanne is The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic and also writes food features for Baltimore Sun Media Group. She started her journalism career at The Sun, working in various positions, including copy editor, assistant features editor and metro reporter. She left the paper in 2001 to become a food editor at The Columbus Dispatch in Ohio. She is a former food and travel editor at Baltimore magazine and restaurant critic at Delaware Today magazine.
