Will re post series of blogs from PRSA concerning teaching and practice of ethics in US.
Observation that PR students accept lying as norm is interesting. Remember it being seen as quite OK for students on placements to pretend to be researching for the university when it was for the agency – their first experience of PR work involved misrepresentation, damaging them, the university and the agency/employer. All without comment or censure. This experience, several years ago, and the sense that to complain would jeopardise student opportunities, started my research. Wonder whether it will come up in Australia?
