HUOJ IS ASKING COMMUNICATION EXPERTS AND AGENCIES TO PUBLICALLY DISCLOSE THEIR ELECTION ACTIVITIES
Croatian Public Affairs Association (HUOJ) is calling all communications professionals and agencies to publically disclose their involvement in the upcoming campaigns for the local elections.
“A key component of transparency of engagement of communications experts is public disclosure of information about the party, politician or independent candidate a communication consultant or agency works for,” said Aleksandra Kolarić, President of the Croatian Public Relations Association. Public disclosure of involvement in election campaigns is crucial, especially when communication consultants act in the media as analysts of political and communication processes. Involvement in the political campaigns is not the reason for communication experts to not act as media interlocutors, but their involvement in it must be clearly stated. Only thus, the roles and interests will be transparent.
Therefore, HUOJ urges all experts in public relations that are hired by politicians, parties and independent candidates to publically disclose their engagement, and to state references on their own websites or social networks.
