Influencer Insights: Media Moves and Intel for the Week of March 7 Nida Asheer To keep up with today's media landscape, public relations professionals need to know not only who is going where, but also how to communicate more effectively with those journalists, bloggers, and influencers making moves. This week's highlights include a new deputy style director at People, a new editorial projects director at Architectural Digest, and a review of four Tumblr blogs you should be reading.

The Wall Street Journal: Chris Kirkham (@c_kirkham) has joined @WSJ as a reporter covering real estate and home builders.
