Still listening, gentlemen, and still enjoying the podcast.
On the topic of PR’s image, I am selfish. I want my students to hear these criticisms from inside the industry, and not just from outside. I think your discussions are refreshing.
Yes, some have tired of hearing criticism of the profession. However, the time for open discussion of the topic arrived long ago. You are simply doing what has been long awaited.
Perhaps if we engage in these active evaluations of the problems, we won’t have to hear the criticisms so often. And, just because individuals recognize flaws does not mean that the whole industry is damned. It is refreshing to hear PR professionals address problems and offer solutions.
Please keep the discussion going.
Many thanks Robert. We agree. It’s also worth mentioning that we’ll not be focusing exclusively on our industry’s “problems,” but I like to think we’ll also explore solutions. Otherwise, there would be grounds for some criticism of our approach. Hope you noted Dave’s reference to the correct home state of Auburn in the last show. A respectful nod to our heroes at FIR. Thanks for listening. Onwards…
Hey Terry,
Agreed, the consideration of solutions is the key. And I think you guys are taking that track, which I applaud.
Yep, I caught Dave’s Alabama reference. It gave me a chuckle. Shel and Neville took my kidding well, thank goodness.
Take care.
