Paramount Public Relations, Inc. would like to wish you and your families a happy holiday and a wonderful New Year. It has been a memorable year, and we would like to share with you the top 10 newsworthy events of 2013 in chronological order:
- Superbowl Power Outage – The dramatic power outage during the second half of Super Bowl XLVII game between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens left millions of viewers in the dark for 34 minutes and caused sportscasters to scramble for content during the blackout time.
- Boston Marathon Bombing – The city of Boston and the U.S remain #BostonStrong despite this tragedy that shook the country. More than 23,000 runners partook in the race at the Boston Marathon on Patriots Day, leaving over 260 wounded and taking the lives of three people.
- George Zimmerman Trial – After George Zimmerman was acquitted for the murder of 17-year old Trayvon Martin, many people sought justice for the young Floridian boy. “We are all Trayvon Martin” has become the movement’s logo across the country.
- Miley Cyrus – From her tongue, crazy performances, twerking and revealing clothes, Miley was truly the talk of 2013.
- Royal Baby – News and social media platforms flooded with updates soon after Kate Middleton announced her pregnancy. The arrival of royal baby, Prince George on July 22, 2013, marks a new generation of royals.
- Paula Deen Lawsuit – Exposed for racial discrimination and sexual harassment, Paula Dean lost a significant number of business partners and fans across the nation, even after making a public apology on the Today Show.

- Health Care – The Health Care debacle made many headlines especially due to website issues. We are sure everyone will continue to use social media, especially twitter, as new details emerge.
- United States Government Shut Down – From closed monuments, zoos, libraries and much more, the Government shutdown garnered attention across the globe as politicians refused to agree on a federal budget. Fifteen days later the United States government finally re-opened.
