SAN FRANCISCO—June 30, 2018—New data today released from Bospar, the boutique PR firm that puts tech companies on the map, turned an eye on the ethics of the PR industry. The survey revealed how many PR professionals are willing to cross ethical boundaries to secure coverage and how many are “getting busy” in the workplace.
Many PR Pros Willing to Dabble in the Dark Arts
The survey zeroed in on PR professionals to determine where they draw the line between right and wrong. The majority (around three-quarters) of them agreed that some more blatant actions—like stealing, cheating, lying and taking credit for other people’s work—were wrong. But while 72 percent feel inventing “fake news” is wrong, more than a quarter (28 percent) are perfectly willing to manufacture news.
When it comes to grayer areas, they have even fewer compunctions:
While their larger sense of ethics may be questionable, their work ethic certainly isn’t: only a third of PR professionals stop working at 6 p.m. Eleven percent only “log off” when they’re taking paid time off, and another 12 percent say they never stop working.
“The best PR people will ensure their clients get coverage that supports their business objectives, and that includes securing stories that won’t explode later due to a serious ethics violation,” said Curtis Sparrer, a principal of Bospar. “I’m heartened to see that the majority do have solid ethics and are working around the clock to do their best work for their clients without any risky business.”
PR Professionals Significantly More Likely to Cheat at Work
And how about office affairs? Many are fine with them; 47 percent of PR pros don’t think they present an ethical problem, and 43 percent have had affairs at work—high above the national average of 13 percent.
Who else is cheating? According to the data:
“For years, people have referred to colleagues with whom they work closely to as their ‘work wives’ and ‘work husbands,’ and maybe there’s something to that,” said Gabrielle Ferdman-Ayala, Principal of Propeller Insights, “especially with companies moving away from a traditional 9 to 5. It’s telling that Millennials are more likely to have an affair, as they’re the ones most likely to be at the start of their careers, when long hours count towards credibility.”
