I RECENT stumbled upon a claim on social media that public pelations (PR) practitioners over the age of 50 are finding it increasingly difficult to secure employment despite their extensive experience. The assertion suggested a pervasive ageism within the industry, raising questions about whether this perception is grounded in reality. It is alarming to think that seasoned professionals, at the pinnacle of their careers, might be sidelined solely due to their age. This claim not only challenges the integrity of hiring practices within the PR field but also underscores a potentially significant waste of invaluable talent and expertise.
