PRSA responds to blog post about email pitching
Arthur Yann, vice president of public relations at the Public Relations Society of America, says the organization agrees with Falls’s position on email spam.
Jason, railing against PRSA in a very “Beavis and Butt-head” sort of way (“hehehehe, you said ‘nuts!'”) might have made you feel better but, in your crankiness, is it possible that you’ve misplaced the blame?
