Fairness: How to Get the Most Out of the First Amendment
Our constitutional right to the freedom of expression is truly a double-edged sword in the public relations world. It allows us to offer the best communication possible on behalf of our clients without having to appeal for government approval. In that sense, it really is a gift that enables us to communicate openly and freely with the public. At the […]
Twitter Chatting With Your Chapter
Monthly #PRSSA Twitter Chats are opportunities for you to stay in contact with your PRSSA colleagues and interact with professionals. Every month, #PRSSA chats focus on a variety of topics relevant to students from every Chapter. These chats, however, should be more than individual experiences. We encourage your entire Chapter — every member — to participate and make their voices […]

Creatively Combatting Distance
Since PRSA and PRSSA are national organizations, it makes sense that distance is a factor that many of our Chapters deal with when it comes to forming connections with professionals across the country. My Chapter at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is over two hours away from our sponsor PRSA Chapter, and the other two PRSA Chapters in Wisconsin are […]
Finding a Balance: Ethical Loyalty in Public Relations
Public relations practitioners tread the thinnest of lines when it comes to loyalty in the workplace. Respecting the interests of both your client and the public can prove quite a challenge.

Can Introverts Succeed in Public Relations?
It is a common misconception that introverts can be rude and lack the social skills necessary to interact with people. However, for a majority of introverts, that couldn’t be further from the truth. On the contrary, most introverts like being around people and having a good time. In many cases, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that […]
Intern Talk: Dealing with Unethical Practices at an Internship
As public relations students, we learn about ethics as it relates to school and PRSSA. But what happens when an ethical dilemma actually arises in the workplace? Navigating the ins and outs of propriety at internships is difficult; thus, dealing with unethical or questionable practices takes forethought, commitment to upholding the ethical values of the industry and good advisers. Think […]
Ethics: Something to Celebrate
September has arrived, and that means we’ve entered every public relations professional’s favorite time of year: Ethics Month. Ethics may never steal the show with a flashy demonstration or unexpected development, and ethics doesn’t usually make it into the news unless someone has violated them.
