As Rent-A-Mob “Protests” Rage, PRSA’s “Ethics” Board is AWOL

As "Protestors for Hire" are unethically staged to march in the streets of Washington, D.C., PRSA's "Ethics Board" stays reliably tight-lipped.

A male U of TN-Knoxville PR prof will present a "poster board session" entitled "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" at PRSA ICON.

The University of Tennessee-Knoxville has a massive "Say / Do" disconnect (gaping hole) in its DEI "compliance" story.

Many PR leaders report that "organizational gaslighting" is on the rise, violating PR ethics codes while stoking disinformation.

Recent statements (and non-statements) underscore selective DEI favoritism and lack of cohesive voice when it comes to antisemitism.

Over recent years, disturbing trends have vastly shifted many citizens’ original goodwill toward DEI as a good-faith movement.

Ketchum's (Omnicom's) troubling transatlantic influence in PR trade groups raises dire ethics concerns, as PRCA-UK ponders its "Lobbying" code.

Years of systemic gaslighting take a toll on this American's otherwise massive capacity for sympathy / empathy.

Mary Beth West: "When it comes to politics and its current negative impact on PR, Mr. Holmes and I appear to agree on practically nothing."

In a new batch of ethics violations, PRSA recruits a partisan front group as PRSSA's "client" for the Bateman Case Study Competition.
