newsandinfo  The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism continues to blaze award winning trails with the recent award of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA)Bronze Anvil for cutting edge Bahamas Weather Conference Podcast.

In accepting the PRSA Bronze Anvil, Tourism Director General Ms. Vernice Walkine noted, “this happens to be the very first Anvil ever awarded for a pod cast proving again that we are leaders rather than followers.”

The Public Relations Society of America solicits thousands of entries from across the U.S. in a fierce competition to determine “the best of the best,” and according to Rene Mack of Weber Shandwick, the Ministry of Tourism’s public relations firm, “of the many awards available, this is the one everyone wants on their shelf.”

The PRSA awards are traditionally dominated by corporations and consumer products with enormous budgets, lots of research and a traditional program model and so The Bahamas winning this award is even bigger.
