Celebrating 25 years of Global Alliance - 2026 New Year message from Prof. Justin Green, President & CEO, Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management 

Leaders in public relations and communication management, friends and colleagues around the world, it is my great honour to wish you well for the year ahead on behalf of your Global Alliance.

It is traditional in many cultures at this time of the year to look back on the year just past and ahead to the year now starting.

Before I do that, I want to thank all of you for your continued support of our great global profession.

Without your leadership and active involvement at a national, regional and global level, there would be no Global Alliance, and our profession would be all the poorer for that.

One constant in all the change we are living through is how leaders like you have stepped up and taken the lead.

When artificial intelligence (AI) first started appearing in our communication toolkit, it brought a mix of curiosity and concern. Some saw the opportunity: faster content, sharper insights, more time for strategic thinking. Others worried—about being replaced, getting it wrong, or walking into an ethical minefield.

Now, AI is no longer just emerging—it’s shaping our world in real time. And the real issue isn’t if we use AI. It’s how we lead with it.

Here’s the truth: we’re not leading strongly enough.

Welcoming Remarks at the Indonesia PR Convention 2025
By Prof. Justin Green

It is a great pleasure and an honour to join you today at the Indonesia PR Convention 2025 in Surabaya organized by Perhumas the oldest and largest PR Association in Indonesia.

I believe Indonesia stands at a pivotal moment where your diversity, your democratic energy, and your cultural values can position you as a global model of collaborative communication.

Indonesia’s greatest strength is also its greatest complexity: its diversity.

When institutions operate in isolation, gaps form and, in those gaps, misinformation spreads.
