Ethics, the Heart of Leadership

We know the world of public relations can present unique challenges and situations, but were you aware that the public relations profession has a Code of Ethics that governs the work that we do?

September is Ethics Awareness Month, and this year’s Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) theme is “Ethics, the Heart of Leadership.” Ethics Awareness Month seeks to inform and educate the public relations profession about ongoing issues and concerns regarding PR ethics, as such the South Carolina chapter is excited to share information and create engaging dialogue throughout the month around this important topic.

Be sure to friend, follow and like us to become engaged in the conversation.

There are also a number of activities planned at the national level including blog posts, Twitter chats that are open to all public relations professionals, webinars and series of cooperative efforts with PRSA. There truly is a resource and platform for everyone.

Brush up on your ethics knowledge with PRSA's ethics resources, and read commentary on ethical standards in PR here.

Please feel free to join in any of the conversations, and, if there is ever a time you find yourself in an ethical dillema, please don’t hesitate to seek counsel from the PRSA Board of Ethics and Professional Standards or contact our South Carolina Chapter Ethics Officer, Adrienne R. Fairwell, APR.
