  • To Write or Not to Write: The PR Question

    Lately I’ve seen a lot of debate over whether or not PR majors should be required to take advanced writing courses, sparked by Shannon Bowen, a professor of PR ethics at the University of South Carolina, in a recent column on PR Week. I have to respectfully disagree, Ms. Bowen. Knowing how to write well is a core competency for PR.
