Vanity Fair Fallout • Is PR Dead? • PR in the Future| The Week Unspun
In this week’s episode, Farzana Baduel, Doug Downs, and David Gallagher unpack three conversations shaping politics, public trust, and the future of PR. -- Vanity Fair fallout - A rare, candid interview with Trump’s chief of staff raises hard questions about media training, narrative control, and how long-form interviews can quietly drain PR capital. -- Is PR dead? - Sir Martin Sorrell’s BBC Radio comments spark industry backlash and a deeper debate about whether public relations has lost ground or is entering its most important era yet. -- PR in the Future - A preview of a special Stories and Strategies episode looks ahead at AI, entry-level talent, and leadership gaps, asking what must change if PR is to survive the next decade. 💡 Produced by Emily Page and Solomon Ibeh The Week Unspun is a co-production of Curzon PR, Stories and Strategies, and Folgate Advisors. 🔔 Don’t miss our next episode, live every Friday at 3 pm BT / 10 am ET on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
