Welcome to the Public Relations Division's Professional Freedom & Responsibility (PF&R) Committee Blog page!
The Professional Freedom & Responsibility Committee strives to arrange programming and document division accomplishments in the five areas of: (1) free expression; (2) ethics; (3) media criticism and accountability; (4) diversity and inclusion; and (5) public service. The committee is responsible for developing programming around AEJMC-wide News Engagement Day and the division’s annual Semester of Service. At the annual convention, the committee organizes an offsite tour related to the five PF&R pillars and organizes a virtual Giveback Day event, where division members volunteer consulting services for nonprofits located in the convention host city. We communicate and advise members on issues and AEJMC opportunities related to PF&R topics.
The PF&R Committee is responsible for the following:
● INITIATIVES– Strive to arrange programming and document division accomplishments in the five areas of: (1) free expression; (2) ethics; (3) media criticism and accountability; (4) diversity and inclusion; and (5) public service.
● Distribute communications about PF&R initiatives via the PRD listserv, newsletter and/or homepage.
● CONVENTION– Actively encourage and advise members on the submission of PF&R related panel proposals.
● OUT-OF-CONVENTION– Actively encourage members to report out-of-convention PF&R accomplishments (papers, presentations, etc.). Compile and report these accomplishments to the head for the annual report.
