Ethics There is a need to comply to professional ethics
when competing professionally. Professional ethics ensure competition among
public relations professionals. Key ethical principles: fairness, honesty, integrity
and expertise (Ikonen, 2017).
Ethics II Honesty; a professional should disclose the conflict of interest at the beginning
of the decision making process. Integrity; the professional should be straightforward in requesting for release
from the involvement in the decision making process. Expertise; a public relation professional should use skills and level of
competence to ensure one does not lose objectivity. Fairness; a public relations professional should be guided by the goal of being fair in all the dealings pertaining to public relations services ((BELINOVA et al,
2017).
Ethics Code on Competition
Honesty; professionals should provide accurate information. Integrity, a public relation professional should not be engaged
in unethical practices in boosting their competitiveness. Fairness; professionals should engage in fair competition.
Best Practices
Beneficence; professionals should not engage in practices that might affect safety of the clients.
Objectivity; professionals should not compromise the goals of the public relations profession on basis of
competition. Expertise; the professional has to adhere to the
professional norms of the profession in competing.
Accurate and Truthful Information
Integrity should be used in ensuring Disney delivers truthful and accurate information to the viewers.
Public relations professionals should ensure client information such as subscription information of the clients is
safe in the information systems (BELINOVA et al, 2017). Disney should match the actions to desired external identity
such as an ethical company.
