[prpoint] Fwd: Is PR industry recognises young talents? - Please read a mail from an angry new gen professional

 

hi

I append below mail received from one of the young Indian  PR professionals written last mid night at 12.36 am. For obvious reasons,  I have suppressed the name of the author of this mail.  Probably this mail reflects the genuine  anger of the many young PR professionals.  

His grievance is that talented young PR professionals (not owners of agencies / Corpcom heads)  are not getting the recognition.  I see many young professionals taking lot of interest in developing their skills by interaction, participation in group discussions, etc. They go unnoticed. 

I invite feedback from members.  Is thee a way we can start recognising the urecognised  young talents in the PR/Corpcom industry?  If so, what should be the criteria? 

As you know, already Prime Point Foundation and ezine PreSense present annual 'Sansad Ratna Awards' for the top performing Lok Sabha Members since 2010.  In the past five years, this Award has become a well respected Award among the Parliamentarians, because of the transparent selection process.  We can also consider PR Awards for the young talents, based on some transparent norms.  

You can share your views in the group directly.  Please read the appended mail of a young PR professional.

Mail received from a PR professional

Dear Sir,

I was going through the email on the xxxxxxx Awards, was wondering what are their selection criteria to decide the winner. I have seen winners of past few years and noticed that they had done nothing substantial for our industry.

I remember you recommending me for the award last year but was sure I won't stand a chance to win any award as I am not known to any member of the jury panel nor have they seen the work done by people like you and me for the industry. Most awards given by these associations are circulated amongst themselves only. Wonder why you have not been recognized for your work till date by any of these associations. They are so much into themselves that they have stopped listening to ground realities.

Which is why I keep insisting you to do a small recognition program for people like us and motivate more youngsters to come ahead and serve the industry. You really need to do something on this as rewarding corp comm heads and agency bosses for the work done for their own company will not help the industry or motivate youngsters.

Please sir consider this suggestion as I am seeing the motivation to do something for our own profession is vanishing as no youngster till date was recognized for whatever good he/she did for the profession.

Awaiting your response

Best Regards,

(Name suppressed)
