I think that public service is a lofty goal, and is certainly a step in the right direction. After all, I think its *something* that demonstrates a public commitment to doing things right in the future. If we take the edelman walmart flog fiasco as an example, all Edelman has done is vowing internal changes -- which, because its a private company happens behind closed doors and therefore has no real accountability. Let us know if there is any evolution to this discussion -- I certainly want to believe that there is a better future for PR than what's been gone on in the past month or so. Hey Chris,

I have another consequence though - public service and mass education programs... The only problem would be the benefit that the offending party would get from putting it on and building those relationships - so it should be done by a 3rd party. Of course, I have an interest in that approach, since I would like to elevate Social Media Club to being one of those 3rd parties. From the very beginning, media literacy programs have been one of the key initiatives we are working on.
