That's a relief...

You'll all be delighted to hear that, in PRWeak's debate a couple of evenings ago - you know, the one it's been trying to shift tickets to for weeks - the motion "PR has a duty to tell the truth" was well and truly defeated. I say well and truly. What I mean is by 138 votes to 124. So quite close.

Nevermind the boring details, it's a glorious win for half-truths, deceptions and good old smoke and mirrors.

As you were, PR industry, as you were...

And even more depressingly, the bloke from Blanc & Otus whose letter to PR Week kicked off the debate, was barred from going up against Mr Clifford by his agency for fear of damaging its reputation. Which, when you consider the initial letter actually called for honesty and openess rather than half truths and falsehoods, is really rather sad.
