Isn’t it a shame that a nice industry like advertising/public relations is stuck with the lowlifes who work in it? So one might infer from a pair of Gallup polls released this month. In one, people were asked for their overall opinion of various industries, ranging from “very positive” to “very negative.” Assessments of the ad/PR field were evenly split: 33 percent positive, 32 percent neutral and 32 percent negative. Could be worse, eh? Well, it got worse in the other survey, which rated the “honesty and ethical standards” of people in various professions.
