FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- What is ethics: Accepted
practice within industry or profession? What you can get away with and
still keep the public quiet? Mere respect for civil law? Obviously none of
the above -- but the practice of responsible advocacy -- ethics -- in
public relations, journalism, corporate America, non-profits and even
academia is being carefully scrutinized.
How you respond to an ethical dilemma will be judged by your peers,
your boss, the court of public opinion and even yourself.
The court of public opinion, in particular, is becoming savvier,
holding us all accountable for responsible advocacy. The ethics police are
looking hard for conflicts of interest, they're looking hard for
improprieties, they're watching for a slip-up, they're itching for a fight,
and they're waiting to pounce. How can we better navigate the mine-filled
waters of misleading information, promotion of inferior products,
discrimination, pay inequities, gains at the expense of others or improper
political influence?
Join PRSA at our September meeting as a panel of experts from public
relations, journalism, and corporate American take on a scenario that would
have most of us sweating bullets.
