This study examined the present state of teaching ethics in university public relations departments in the U.S. and abroad. The results indicated that public relations teachers perceived ethics instruction in public relations education to be essential, and they believed in a close tie between general morality and professional ethics. However, as the results of a quantitative survey suggested, foreign participants believed that ethics instruction helps students make right choices on the job less so than did participants who were born and teach in the U.S. A series of qualitative interviews with communication teachers in Western European universities revealed that the foreign teachers did not perceive themselves as direct contributors to the public relations industry. Instead, they saw themselves as individuals who are responsible for general liberal education of the youth, not specialized training.Multiple regression analysis of a number of respondents' demographics showed that the higher the participants' rank, the less favorable attitude they held toward the value of ethics education to students. This result is a subject of a future investigation.The majority of participants recognized ethics instruction incorporated in courses throughout the PR curriculum as the most valuable format of ethics instruction delivery. The most used pedagogies-teacher lectures, case studies, and group discussion-appeared to be the most effective approaches, whereas the most used resources in teaching ethics-textbooks, trade magazine articles, and newspaper or magazine stories-were perceived as the most effective material in teaching ethics.

“…In a study of professional journalists and journalism students, Hanson (2002) reported that both news directors and news students agree that "the workplace is the best laboratory to learn about journalism ethics, followed by student internships, co-curricular activities, and classroom instruction." According to Reinardy and Moore (2007), who surveyed 212 broadcast and print journalism students at a large Midwestern university, internships for journalism students provide a time for professional and ethical behavior to be learned through "on-the-job experiences, newsroom learning, and through socialization."…”
