One of the more juicy statistics that Advertising Age and others noted is that trust in peers surprisingly dropped dramatically from 47% to 27%. Tom Foremski says this is bad for PR : “This is bad news for PR agencies because social media has been the ‘point of the spear’ for so many firms.

It won’t make the PR industry’s case for social media budgets any less compelling. In fact, it’s awesome news.
