Martin estimated that about one third of the attendees being first timers. We talk about the conference and the subject matter that stood out for Martin. And among the best news for Gini and Joe: Next year&#8217;s Counselors Academy will be held in Toronto.<\/p>\n<h2>Better Tools for Facebook Group Administrators<\/h2>\n<p>Facebook has provided group administrators with the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2017\/05\/12\/facebook-groups-questions\/\">set up a brief questionnaire<\/a> that prospective new members must\u00a0answer when requesting membership in the group. It&#8217;s not a big thing. But it will help administrators to understand who is joining the group and what has drawn them to it. Thank you Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2>WordPress steps up its efforts to keep our Websites secure<\/h2>\n<p>Over 28% of the top Websites are powered by WordPress.

No, we&#8217;re not suggesting that we see ourselves as propagandists. But it would be na\u00efve to suggest that the birth of the PR industry and propaganda weren&#8217;t closely intertwined. And in these times, its ever more important for us to pay attention to the ethics of communications. And when you&#8217;ve bookmarked the Quartz obsession, you may want to check out Tim Wu&#8217;s treatment of Ed Bernays and the birth of PR in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/11\/03\/books\/review-attention-merchants-tim-wu.html\">The Attention Merchants<\/a>. And for a lean-back experience that should spark further thought, find and watch The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Century_of_the_Self\">Century of the Self<\/a>, a four part documentary first shown on BBC in 2002.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s\u00a0your turn.<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019d love to know what you think about the topics we discussed as well as your suggestions for questions you\u2019d like answered or topics for future shows.
