50 UK Female PR Bloggers

50 Female UK PR BloggersEarlier this week Vuelio published their annual ‘Top 10 UK PR blogs list‘.  It’s a great list – I read the vast majority of the blogs on it (although one was completely new to me which is always exciting to find). Stephen Waddington and Neville Hobson top that list – and both are brilliant bloggers so it’s well deserved, but in an industry dominated by women, I was staggered that not a single one of the ten was female. 

I did a bit of digging to find out what the Vuelio methodology is for compiling that list and Wadds kindly pointed me in the direction of their FAQs where it became really obvious that it was possible that female bloggers aren’t getting listed because they’re not actually on Vuelio’s database.

I thought about compiling a list of top 10 female bloggers myself, but I don’t have a scientific way to crunch any numbers and even though there are some flaws in Vuelio’s method, it’s better than my ‘just list the 10 people you really like to read’ method.  So I approached Vuelio and asked, if I could give them a substantial list of female UK PR bloggers, would they please crunch the numbers? – to my delight they said yes!

So here’s the list of 50 UK female PR bloggers I submitted to them (listed here in alphabetical order).  There was no scientific method to compiling the list – I just wrote down the ones I was aware of, put a call out on Twitter for other people to flag female PR blogs to me, did some digging on Google and came up with this 50.  If you’re a female UK PR blogger and not on this list you can submit your blog to their database yourself.

I look forward to seeing what Vuelio’s analysis says – and I’d be really interested to know if they had had these 50 in the original mix, would the top 10 UK PR blogs have looked any different.

Over to you, Vuelio.

– Women in PR (various contributors)

I’ve separated out the final two as they may be a bit controversial as they’re both run by men, but they’d argue that they are contributor driven blogs and feature contributions from many female PRs (in fact, possibly more female than male – but I’ll let them crunch the numbers on that).
