Newsroom in the news

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and its 19,000-plus members I’d like to thank reporter Elahe Izadi for her June 4 article, “The New Journalism—and the PR Firms Behind It.” It is vital to the public interest to call out misrepresentations perpetrated by ersatz “news” sites and the so-called “PR” organizations behind them.

She is a White House Correspondent for “PBS NewsHour,” Moderator of “Washington Week,” and NBC and MSNBC Political Contributor.

This year’s Bateman Case Study Competition challenged students to craft a public relations campaign focused on reversing the corrosion of civility in American life and fostering more constructive and inclusive public discourse in all corners of society.

PRSA, the nation’s leading professional organization serving the communications community, announced today the 2021 winners of the Bronze Anvil Awards, which recognize the best of the best in public relations tactics — the use of social media, video, blogs, podcasts, annual reports, digital newsletters, websites — that contribute to the success of overall programs or campaigns.

The Voices4Everyone platform was created to leverage collective voice and best practices among communicators.

The program includes a discounted PRSA membership, enhanced career resources and numerous other benefits for those looking for employment.
