I can think of at least four journalists (or those trained in journalism, not PR) teaching PR in the BPR/MPR/MAinPR program at MSVU.

While it was nice to get their perspective on PR, and while it was beneficial in a lot of courses they teach (media relations, writing courses), it would be nice to have a set of PR-trained practitioners teaching the rest of the courses the journalists teach because journalism and PR are two completely different entities onto themselves.

And I'm wondering: how often do you see PR practitioners moving into journalism without the required education?

Some reporters may give out biased information.

#1 If you think that PR people are giving out biased information, you are only seeing what you want to see.

I think it's pretty clear what Tim is saying. It's also pretty clear why his works for a paper that you have to give away.

I have never once been placed in the position of witholding information, in fact just the opposite.
