Help Shape Tomorrow’s PR & Communication Landscape — Take the 2025 Global Survey
Help Shape Tomorrow’s PR & Communication Landscape — Take the 2025 Global Survey

In light of recent global research into the evolving landscape of public relations and communication — including the Future of PR and Communication Delphi study and the Global Exploration of Workplace Well-being in PR — PR and communication practitioners worldwide are invited to take part in a new global survey focusing on the local realities of professional practice.

The study aims to deepen understanding of how PR practice adapts to local and global challenges, how practitioners define their core responsibilities, and how internal (organisational) and external (socio-political, technological) forces are reshaping the profession today. The survey builds on data from professional associations and organisational networks.

Between Pontiffs and Engineers of the Abyss

Paulo Nassar

 In the contemporary geopolitical landscape, where interdependence should unite us, we once again witness the rise of invisible—but profoundly real—walls.

Economic tariffs multiply like trenches raised against the spirit of cooperation. Instead of opening markets, we open wounds. Instead of promoting fair trade, we fuel fear of the other.

The logic of wild protectionism hides the resurgence of an old figure: the bridge destroyer. He wears the suit of a head of state but acts as an architect of the abyss. He dismantles agreements, sabotages multilateral organizations, and imposes tariffs not as instruments of balance, but as weapons of intimidation.

This June, the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management (Global Alliance) reaffirms its enduring commitment to Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) across the global communication profession.

Diversity, equity, equality and inclusion are essential to the integrity and future of public relations and communication. These are not secondary or political concerns. They are core to the way our profession serves society, builds trust, and drives ethical communication outcomes.

Leading & Celebrating our Profession - 25 years of Growth & Resilience

Prof Justin Green, President & CEO, Global Alliance - Annual Report 2024

As we enter our 25th year (marked as the ‘silver jubilee’ in some cultures), it is my great honour to present the 2024 annual report of your Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management. With your steadfast support and active involvement, 2024 was another year of growth for our Alliance in terms of our membership, our service offering, and the reach and impact achieved through our global advocacy.

As I reflect on another year of accomplishment with your support, I am also reminded that it is now almost six years since I had the tremendous privilege of being elected Global Alliance President in 2019. You will recall that a global pandemic came into all of our lives soon after that. This meant my early months and years as President coincided with a major public health emergency that challenged all of us to think differently about how we lived and worked.

Global Alliance evolved our member offering to better reflect the new realities of global business and that journey continues.
