2018 PRSA Chair Anthony D’Angelo joins host Shel Holtz in a follow-up to Shel’s conversation two weeks ago with PRSA volunteer leader Mary Beth West. In the chat, Anthony outlines his (and the PRSA board’s) perspectives on the controversy that has been the consuming focus of his term as chair. Also in this episode…

  • CEOs and other senior leaders are being fired over inappropriate behavior at a record clip. What does this say about the qualifications for a leader in the values-driven marketplace?
  • Google is bringing AI-driven grammar checking to Google Docs.
  • LinkedIn is adding voicemail to its messaging tool
  • Group video-watching is coming to Facebook Groups
  • Teens are using “flop” accounts on Instagram to debate societal issues free of bots, trolls, and dismissive adults
  • Dan York reports on user drop-offs on Facebook and Twitter, Slack’s victory in the enterprise messaging wars, vulnerabilities in Samsung’s Internet of Things hub, one tale of a stranger destroying someone’s life, Instagram’s “flop” accounts, and the release of WordPress 4.9.8 on Tuesday.

Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.
