Answer to Question 1

Whether public relations is considered political or commercial speech depends largely on the public
being targeted, the purpose of the message, and the court's interpretation. Public relations
practitioners have to know that there are limits to both political and commercial speech, and they
need to know what those limits are.

Answer to Question 2

Government practitioners operate in the open. Except those specifically exempted by law, all of their
records are open for public inspection. The best known of the open-records laws is the Freedom of
Information Act, which established the parameters of obtaining records held by the federal
government. Practitioners employed by nongovernmental organizations enjoy a greater degree of
privacy. However, even they may face certain disclosure requirements covering finances, taxes, and
ethical conduct.
