What's your PR super power? On Friday, Oct. 30, we celebrate all of you PR superheroes out there....

National Publicist Day is celebrated on the date in 1906 when the New York Times first ran a press release written by Ivy Lee, considered by many to be the "father of modern PR.” The Pennsylvania Railroad was Lee’s client. On October 28, 1906, 50 people tragically lost their lives when a three-car train jumped a trestle in New Jersey and plunged into a creek below. In response to the disaster, Lee wrote his first press release that afternoon. He not only convinced the railroad to distribute this public statement, he also successfully lobbied his client to provide a special train to transport reporters to the scene of the accident. The New York Times editors were so impressed with this innovative approach to corporate communications that they printed his first press release—verbatim—on October 30 as “A Statement from the Road.”

Now, go save the world, PR superheroes! It's our day!
