Edelman, PR Ethics and Social Media - the Next Steps

At Edelman we continue to monitor all of the great feedback you gave us this week on PR ethics on social media. More importantly, we're acting on it.

Our CEO Richard Edelman today outlined what's already in the works. The me2revolution team I work for will be involved with teaching Edelman University classes on ethics in social media, reviewing programs before they are implemented and more.

As we continue down this path, we're eager to hear your views. What types of actions would you suggest we take?
