Whether we like it or not there is a huge segment of the professional population that doesn't pay attention to blogs. A PR strategy, in-house or outsourced, is a must for any startup. The more important question is who is contacting the leading bloggers in your space? It may make sense to keep those relationships for yourself and have the PR pro focus on traditional media.

I agree, PR can be a cost-effective way to generate interest in your activities. I want to reiterate the importance of sending "quality" stories to the media. Reporters/bloggers are inundated with press releases/pitches each day most which end up being ignored or deleted due to irrelevance or poor quality. If you're not a recognized brand you'll need an especially good story to cut through the noise. I'm also a proponent of DIY PR. In that spirit, I've created a simple news vetting process (see web site above) designed to help people build high quality stories for the media. Feel free to test it out.
