Need a Refresher on the Code of Ethics?
The PRSA Code of Ethics sets the standard for responsible, transparent communication in our profession. It is built on six core values: advocacy, honesty, expertise, independence, loyalty and fairness. These values guide members in protecting the integrity of their work and strengthening the public’s trust in public relations. The Code outlines principles for protecting the free flow of accurate information, fostering informed decision-making, safeguarding confidential information, avoiding conflicts of interest and promoting fair competition.
