Hiring and Promoting Hispanic PR Pros

This week, another PR Nation young pro, Zane Landin, contributes his perspective on the topic of Hispanics in our industry. Is the PR business doing a good job of recruiting and promoting Hispanic practitioners? Zane examines the progress and the possibilities with Stephen Chavez, CEO of Chavez PR in the greater Los Angeles area, and an adjunct professor at the University of La Verne, in La Verne, California.

Also, the crew discusses the debate over vaccine selfies, Burger King’s disastrous tweet, and Buckingham Palace’s handling of racist criticisms. They also prepare for a cicada (bug) invasion and wonder why people would eat them.  One thing we know – they are not on the menu for vegetarians like Sarah!
