Talk:Public Relations Society of America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the November issue of the PRSA Newsletter Tactics the editor's corner by John Elsasser discusses PR professionals contributing to Wikipedia.1 According to his statements, founder Jimmy Wales has said PR professionals should adapt a "hands off" approach to Wikipedia stating that it is "deeply unethical behavior." I have been looking for a wikipedian ethics page to show where this is policy for Wikipedia and have not been able to find anything. I am interested in finding out how it could be unethical if the norms of Wikipedia are followed. I do understand that there is an inherent bias in being paid by an organization, but there are inherent bias in anything a person likes or chooses to learn more about. Please assist in documenting this question and where and how people can participate in the discussion. Thanks. USSTRATCOM PAO 14:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
