It’s time for the PR industry to stop with self-loathing and demand better
The long-held tension between public relations and journalism is reaching toxic levels. Fixing it starts with PR professionals having the courage to demand better.
Another day, another mean tweet from a journalist:
Not to start #rosemarygate again, but why do journalists to speak PRs like this?
I wouldn't expect anyone to be spoken to in this way, no matter what job they're doing.
Absolutely unacceptable behaviour in any setting, never mind a professional one. pic.twitter.com/sdyuWTx7j9

Ahhh… I love when PR people expect journalists to do homework for them.
