Ethics how that word gets twisted depending on whose mouth it comes out of. Enjoy your pursuits. Remember character is something that only obedience to God's Word can give you. You can try to develop it on your own, but sooner or later you will stumble. Good luck. Ethics how that word gets twisted depending on whose mouth it comes out of. Enjoy your pursuits.

]]> Comment on “Money Honey” in sticky situation by Phil Rolfe http://everydayethics.wordpress.com/2007/03/16/money-honey-in-sticky-situation/#comment-10 Phil Rolfe Thu, 29 Mar 2007 19:32:32 +0000 http://everydayethics.wordpress.com/2007/03/16/money-honey-in-sticky-situation/#comment-10 None of say it was an affair, but everyone of us thinks it was. Why, cause it looks that way. A journalist should keep oneself completely away from the look, smell, and touch of inappropriateness. Any hint of that rapidly diminishes one's character and that is very hard to get back. I say that neither Todd nor Maria will ever reach their previous heights (no pun intended).

]]> Comment on Working with the media or for the media? by Michele Ewing http://everydayethics.wordpress.com/2007/03/02/working-with-the-media-or-for-the-media/#comment-9 Michele Ewing Tue, 27 Mar 2007 14:14:36 +0000 http://everydayethics.wordpress.com/2007/03/02/working-with-the-media-or-for-the-media/#comment-9 Ali, Interesting post. As I share in our Media Relations course, the foundation of effective media relations is building relationships with the news media. A PR professional should serve as a resource for the news media. Clients may ask you to "slobber" but you need to educate your clients about the news media and media relations. Ali,

I agree that it does sound like something more was going on but I'm not one to say. I most definetly agree that CNBC is acting as Bartiromo's protector. CNBC should come out and say that the relationship was unethical and unprofessional. Thanks for the input. If it was an affair, then that raises even more ethical considerations.

The careful attorneys at wsj and all other publications will allow only innuendo regarding the affair between the two. If it walks like an affair.....if it looks like an affair.....its an affair. An it sure as hell looks and smells like one. Why wont the Money Honey just admit the truth instead of hiding behind the cloak of CNBC and GE.

]]> Comment on Video News Releases by everydayethics http://everydayethics.wordpress.com/2007/03/09/video-news-releases/#comment-5 everydayethics Fri, 16 Mar 2007 02:06:36 +0000 http://everydayethics.wordpress.com/2007/03/09/video-news-releases/#comment-5 Diane, I would like to thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog. This is my first go at the blogging world and it still excites me to see people have read what I've written. As an up-and-coming PR professional, I have learned about VNRs and we have discussed the ethical issues surrounding them. The point I was trying to drive home was that while PR gets most of the blame for "deceiving" the public, the broadcast stations are the ones who pass the VNRs off as thier own productions. I see VNRs everyday on news channels, both locally and nationally. Sometimes I can spot them, sometimes I can't. VNRs are everywhere and I don't necessarily believe them to be a bad thing. Yes, I agree some VNRs violate ethical standards but good stories do come out of VNRs. As long as the broadcast stations can present a balanced story, I don't see a problem with using VNRs. I understand your organization holds both PR firms and broadcast stations accountable but I believe PR gets the brunt of the blame. Unfortunately, when I tell people I am studying ethics in PR, they laugh and claim it's an oxymoron. I want that reputation to change and with more discussions like ours, I think the future of PR could change for the better. Thank you again for your comment. Diane,
