There’s an app for that

Posted by PRSA Staff in March 14th 2013

There are mobile business apps designed to make users more productive, more organized and more collaborative, but now there is an app to help guide public relations professionals in making ethical decisions. Ethical decision-making has never been easier thanks to PRSA taking the Code of Ethics (Code) mobile.

PRSA, in partnership with MSLGROUP, has brought the Code to the palm of your hand. The PRSA Ethics app is available for free in Google’s Android Market and Apple’s App Store and can be accessed from iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Why and How Senior Public Relations Officers Raise Ethical Concerns

Posted by Marlene Neill in January 22nd 2013

Most public relations practitioners who are members of professional associations are likely familiar with industry codes of ethics; however, familiarity with codes does not imply that practitioners know what to do when faced with an ethical dilemma. In an academic study recently published in the Journal of Mass Media Ethics, my coauthor Dr. Minette Drumwright and I conducted in-depth interviews with 30 senior practitioners from 10 states in the U.S. and Australia, who had an average of 27 years of experience. We identified multiple techniques that anyone could use to raise red flags.

The “Year That Was”…PR’s Challenges and Opportunities

Posted by Kirk Hazlett in December 18th 2012

Simply put, this past year has been one humdinger from the public relations point of view.
