Millennials favor companies with activist CEOs—I reported last week about the American Petroleum Institute’s advertising push to make the industry look cool to Millennials, whom oil and gas companies need to hire but who are inclined to look elsewhere for work.

White House communications team casts negative perceptions on PR practitioners—The team managing communications at the White House is generally viewed as the most visible PR people on the planet. PR practitioners wish that weren’t the case with the current administration and would prefer to distance themselves from Sean Spicer and the rest of the administration’s spokespeople.

FCC votes to end net neutrality—The U.S. Federal Communications Commission voted 2-1 to open debate on a proposal to reverse the Title II designation used to enforce net neutrality and on whether the FCC should impose net neutrality rules through other mechanisms.
