Description

Cancel Culture is a neologism meaning it’s a newly coined term. It’s essentially the phenomenon of publicly shaming, rejecting, and ceasing to provide support to people, companies, or stores if they are deemed unacceptable. Celebrities are frequent targets but not exclusively. The shaming, for the most part, is done through social media. T.S. Eliot once wrote, “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”But how are we, as people, supposed to progress if accountability, and the inherent ability to “cancel” is left to the unaccountable?Guest: Alex Malouf, SCMPalexgmalouf@gmail.com @alex_malouf

Communication is in every facet of our daily lives. In fact, if the ability to cooperate is what makes us distinctly different as humans, it's the ability to communicate that facilitates this. Is it any wonder communication has become a thriving profession? Those who succeed have the ability to persuade through public relations, government relations, media relations, crisis management, stakeholder engagement, marketing strategy, advertising, through all things strategic communications. They will create the websites and social media campaigns that influence us and the podcasts we remember. Doug Downs hosts this podcast about PR for those who do the work and those who hire the comms pros.
