I’m glad that Cherenson recognized the importance of advocating our profession in cohesion with ethical our values.

As a public relations student who also works as a journalist, I’ve witnessed a perception among journalists (both students and full-time professionals) that fosters the idea of many public relations professionals being unethical.

We can bettor ‘edvocate’ by truly upholding and applying the PRSA ethics in everything we do. PRSA and PRSSA members must remind themselves and educate others on how to accomplsih public relations strategies/tasks through the use of those ethical values. In the long run, this will help our productivity in the workplace, enhance our clients’/organization’s reputations and remove the bad taste out of the mouths of journalists when they utter “public relations.”

That is a grassroots effort we all benefit from.

I so agree with Mark. It is in the little things that we do as PR professionals every day that impact on the reputation of our craft.

I think Mr. Cherenson’s comments are right on the mark. As I start my APR journey I will look forward to listening to great leaders like Mike.
