What this episode covers
In 2021 -- and in the post-pandemic world -- dialogues about meaningful public-relations compliance standards reveal just how much #PRethics are of critical concern and keen interest globally, including the attitudes among particular PR trade bodies. The PRCA-UK remains arguably the world's leading edge standard-bearer for public relations ethics and best-practices, thanks to staff and board leadership and vision, from the association's headquarters in London, U.K., with offices across multiple continents and a growing membership (35,000+) worldwide. Long-running issues that have challenged public understanding and respect for the PR industry only intensified in 2020-21, complicated further by the recent pandemic. Susan Hart, MPRCA — who is no stranger to advocating on the front lines of recent years’ intense debates for PR’s ethical core in the United States — co-hosts this edition of Ms. InterPReted, alongside Fletcher CEO Kelly Fletcher, MPRCA, as they welcome Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA-UK) Director General Francis Ingham, MPRCA. On the heels of the June 2021 #PRCAAmericas Conference, Francis shares his organization’s vision of what a strong future for the global industry demands of practitioners worldwide -- and how the PRCA is doing its part to point the way forward on PR Ethics, in an inclusive and credible way.
