On the second Wednesday of each month, we hold our traditional Q&A chat, where top independent communication professionals share thought leadership, tips and advice in response to questions submitted by the community (learn how to join us here).

Our September 2014 chat focused on the following topics of interest:

Q1: Do you typically work on the weekends? If not, how do you avoid?

Q2: Many have criticized the NFL's PR in the Ray Rice scandal. How much can PR control?

Q3: What obligation does a media company have to ensure the political correctness of its staff?

Q4: What do we think about the pay gap between PR and journos: pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014… ? What impact does it have?
