Register today for our September program: Ethics and Social Media. This highly interactive session will explore the special Public Relations ethics challenges posed by social media, ways to manage them for yourself and your clients, and how a new generation of practitioners deals with them.

We'll borrow from PRSA case studies, PR textbooks and your own experiences to consider the ethics challenges involved in:

• Tweeting on your client's behalf
• Managing Facebook identities
• Responding to trolls
• Participating in online forums
• Curating content
