The Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations at the University of Alabama is sponsoring a June 9 Facebook Live conversation that will discuss the results of the 2020-2021 North American Communication Monitor, a study focusing on the key trends and challenges that face the communications profession. The study, which polled over 1,000 communications professionals in the US and Canada, found that trust, new avenues of content creation and distribution, and diversity, equity & inclusion issues were top of mind for most of them. The researchers behind the NACM, which include Plank Center director Karla Gower, will share their insights on the study’s results at the 10 a.m. (CDT) event.
