In a World Awash in Ethical Challenges, September is #PRethics Month
While ethics in public relations is and should be, without question, a year-round priority and endeavor for all PR industry leaders, agencies, and practitioners, we traditionally set the spotlight on ethics in the month of September.
Please join The #PRethicsCommunity on the LinkedIn platform, which – as newly launched only in recent weeks – is up to more than 150 members from all over the world.
By joining this diverse, online, informal community, you can take part in conversations, idea-sharing, and a learning-based exchange of best practice, during this year’s PR Ethics Month, and, year-round as well.
We invite you to use the #PRethics hashtag in your online postings across platforms about this subject, so that we can help amplify different conversations that are occurring.
We also encourage you to lead your employer, clients, and colleagues to consider some of the hot ethics topics in the PR industry and how ethical compliance matters for the sake of promoting authentic stakeholder trust.
This snapshot of topics was used as a list of evaluation criteria a few years ago in the Institute of Business Ethics’ analysis of 24 PR industry ethics codes from around the globe (download the free white paper, “The State of Ethics Codes in the Public Relations Industry: A Global Analysis”).
We invite you to use the list as a conversation-starter in your own workplace or other PR community:

Thanks to everyone for participating, and Happy #PRethics Month!
