A position paper on critical language awareness by @linguadigitalis.bsky.social and others from Groningen and Cape Town www.frontiersin.org/journals/com...

Workplace harmony is great—until it costs equity and justice. "The Price of Nice" by @amirabarger.bsky.social shows why “being nice” isn’t enough & what to do instead. amirabarger.com/books/the-pr...

My first article as a Ph.D. candidate has been published in a peer-reviewed journal: “New Code Needed for New Conversations: A Critical Textual Analysis of the PRSA Code of Ethics and Practitioners’ Responsibility to the Public Good.” instituteforpr.org/prj-vol-18-i... #PR #PublicRelations

Writing in Good Company online this morning was a heartening start to the week. To find an online academic co-writing option that works for you this fall, start with this list @allisonvandev.bsky.social and I collected: bridgecreekediting.com/a-call-to-ac...

FB memories are often superfluous, but sometimes, they show big things. I didn't know it, but receiving these textbooks as I prepared for the fall of the 2nd year of my professional strat comm MA was one. I knew I had questions that went past the strategies & tactics focus of my MA. #PR #StratComm

For the summer, I am back at the University of Minnesota’s Global Program and Strategy Alliance making PDF forms accessible. Does anyone have suggestions for training videos? An I am in thinking this project is made harder because of Adobe being frustrating? #Accessibility #A11y

Yesterday, I shared my dissertation plan with the Critical Language Awareness Collective convened by Dr. Shawna Shapiro. I hope more #PRProf will join me in considering PR ed beyond technical mastery, genre replication, & strategy maximization. #PublicRelations #StrategicCommunication #JPRE #PRProf

How do you kidnap and deport millions of people? How do you meet a quota of 3,000 apprehensions a day? Racial profiling and indiscriminate abductions. Nobody is safe: #MAGAKidnappers

To conclude year three at @uosojc.bsky.social, I successfully defended my PhD prospectus, “What’s right in what we write? Exploring the metalinguistic norms, language ideologies, and writing practices of the public relations industry.” #PublicRelations #GradLife

Attention #PRProfs. How are you talking about #PR's role in supporting DEI with your students? It should be thought of as a question of professional responsibility and ethics.

“But we have laws!” They don’t care

Hi Friends! We are hiring for a remote Public Relations Specialist. Movement Media is the best workplace I've ever experienced and this will be a great job for someone with some solid communications / PR experience. Please share! www.linkedin.com/posts/moveme...

In @dukepress.bsky.social's Pedagogy, Chris Gallagher argued teachers should use ghostwriting to encourage students to develop Critical Language Awareness. #PRProfs, I'd argue that's most of what we teach. How can we encourage students to meet the challenge? doi.org/10.1215/1531...

Please stop saying this woman works in crisis PR. I work in crisis PR— I help people/organizations tell the truth even and especially when it is hard. I abide by the PRSA Code of Ethics and our professional values. My profession and her job are quite different. www.prsa.org/about/prsa-c...

Winter Break goal: Now that I'm a 3rd year Ph.D. student who (in theory) has a better idea of my research, does anyone have suggestions for how to clean out my @zotero.org library of my road-not-traveled research? Particularly, identifying big files? #phdlife #phdchat #phdvoice #zotero

"The Conscious Style Guide neatly complements [existing style guides], because it doesn’t intend to compete with them. Instead, Yin recommends using a systemic, thoughtful approach to style questions in a time of rapidly evolving language and cultural change." - @andybechtel.bsky.social

Kasey Bonifacio's 13 Days of Accessibility is a great way to dig into the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, which are international standards used to measure accessibility. Kasey's resource makes WCAG more digestible. a11ycalendar.kaseybon.com

go.bsky.app/GG4maF3 #PRprofs let me know if you’d like to be added, and tag your colleagues. (Also let me know if you wish to be removed).

Painful? Yes. Do we get to complain? Absolutely not. We knew websites were supposed to be accessible the entire time, but we focused on aesthetics, saving $/time, and “works for me.” We got a pass for too long. Accessibility should never have been a “we'll come back post-launch."

The captions are surprisingly good, but make sure to check them! I had it once pick a word that was the opposite of what we said.
