Show Notes
Kelly and Mary Beth will reveal why #PR is so misunderstood in large part because of ethical missteps, how reactionary communicators shoot ethical strategy in the foot, how journalism now faces a credibility crisis, the wisdom of industry legend (and Tennessee native) Harold Burson, why working in collaboration with legal teams is essential, and how the London-based Public Relations and Communications Association (@PRCA_UK) is now leading the global profession with an accountability-driven ethical compliance model.
