A Dialogue on DisinformationA Dialogue on Disinformation

PRSA and its Voices4Everyone initiative in partnership with Yonder invited a group of thought leaders to discuss an issue of critical importance to the communications profession — the proliferation of disinformation.

During a 90-minute virtual roundtable, the panelists provided valuable insights and offered actionable takeaways on future resiliency against false and misleading claims levied against brands and organizations.

PRSA and Yonder are now presenting highlights of this conversation in this 12-page e-book. Download PDF.

All PRSA members pledge adherence to the Code of Ethics. As issues arise relating to the practice of communications, the PRSA Board of Ethics and Professional Standards (BEPS) provides guidance within the framework of the Code. The PRSA Board of Directors then announces these guidelines through an Ethical Standard Advisory (ESA). ESAs are for informational purposes only and not for the purpose of providing legal advice.

(BEPS authored this ESA in 2021.)
