| Richard Berman: When PR Does Nasty Duty |

 Oh dear, Salon has the latest example of why public relations has such a punk image with the public — Richard Berman operating a "think tank" — the "Employment Policies Institute" — out of the offices of his PR firm, Berman and Co. One of its recent "studies" seeks to counter another by scholars at the University of California, Berkeley, on why the wages of fast food industry workers should be raised. The Employment Policies Institute, which, noted the Washington Post on an op-ed piece from a Berman colleague, "receives funding from restaurants, among other sources," sounds rather like the respected Economic Policy Institute. This sort of thing makes one boil, whether you're in PR or outside the profession.
