After posting my blog this weekend (Why is no one in PR talking about this?), the San Francisco bureau of PRWeek (the industry trade rag for the PR set) sent an email saying they read my blog, were going to write a story about the issue, and wanted to talk with me about it. Not wanting to bring my current employer or any of our vendors into this issue, I passed on the opportunity. I guess I will have to wait for another opportunity at industry recognition. ;-)
It's great to see the industry talking about this, and kudos to Aarti Shah at PRWeek for his concise article (SIIA lawsuit places a PR practice on alert, PRWeek, Aug. 23, 2007), and for asking SIIA questions they still don't seem prepared to answer. Keep pushing, guys. This definitely needs to be resolved, and we are the only ones who can or will work with SIIA to resolve it. I hope this article pushes others to voice their opinions on the issue and demand SIIA clearly define their program and who they mean for it to affect.
