What's the true voice of Islam?

Muslim WakeUp! is an organization and website that tries to present the progressive face of Islam, one that is thoughtful and constructively responsive to criticism (and perhaps more representative of the larger Muslim world than non-Muslims realize).

Public Relations in the Global Village

Public Relations in the Global Village
Dishonesty can sometimes be part of Public Relations. There is a lot of hype around it in some of our classes at Salem State, such as principles of Public Relations. But it is really up to the itegrity of the individual. I also don't know first hand what most companies want when it comes to PR. I would say PR professionals are the screen between the company/institution and it's audience. Quite often the screen is filtered, I dont know if one would consider that directly lying or being dishonest. It could be considered "editing."

Perceptions of PR Professionals

Hello everyone. This week I wanted to talk abouth a couple of things that have been bothering me for quite sometime. When I first came to Salem State, I majored in Bussiness, because coming from a family of business professionals, that was the thing for me to do. But now, I have found my calling, communications, specifically Public Relations. Most of my friends believe that we are only here to promote dishonesty, and our only job is to make a company look good. Do you agree? Have you ever been confronted by this, and how did you guys handle it? I know what the text book says about MBR's, but I would like to hear from you guys, what public relations mean to you?

See you soon
Thanks
