PR Tactics, the monthly newspaper published by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), has received two industry awards for editorial excellence. The tabloid-style publication was awarded the APEX 2010 Grand Award and the Magnum Opus Silver Award.

Military transparency — an oxymoron to some — has earned the U.S. Air Force Office of Public Affairs the public relations industry’s highest award for excellence.

 

The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) presented the Air Force with its “Best of Silver Anvil Award” for its program to facilitate media coverage of flag-draped coffins bearing the remains of U.S. service personnel arriving at Dover Air Force Base. More than 20 members of the Air Force, including the Honorable Erin C. Conaton, undersecretary of the Air Force, were on hand to accept the award at PRSA’s Silver Anvil Awards ceremony, held Thursday evening at the Equitable Tower in New York.
