'PRWeek' Releases This Year's Power List

PRWeek has released the 2012 version of its Power List, the magazine’s annual round up of powerful players in the PR industry. You’ll recall last year’s backlash over the lack of diversity on the list. It doesn’t look like that situation has improved dramatically this year, although one of the “diverse candidates” that EIC Steve Barrett highlighted in 2011, Jon Iwata, SVP of marketing and communications at IBM (pictured), now sits atop the list. (He replaces Leslie Dach from Walmart, who’s now at number four.)
