Abstract

Significant changes are occurring in the work place, affecting some 10 percent of the work force each year. Although not all these workers need retraining, many of them are finding that acquisition of a new skill is the key to keeping or regaining a good job. Retraining and reeducation are also important factors in U.S competitiveness. The greater the skills and better the education of the workforce, the more flexibly American businesses can adapt to intensifying world competition. Government programs and employers are, to some degree, providing retraining for adults, and workers are increasingly aware of its value. There are still unmet needs for adult training and education, however, especially among those who could benefit most — the less skilled and less educated.

Abstract

The paper takes up the challenge offered in the call for papers for this special issue to explore the notion of public relations as “ethical guardian”. The approach taken is to review some influential academic perspectives as well as practitioner perspectives that emerged throughout the 20th century. It is argued that the ethics and social responsibility have long been an intrinsic part of public relations self‐identity. The paper identifies a number of problems for the public relations occupation that arise from its historical legacy and considers the implications for professional status.
