This might seem strange, but this thought hit me the other day: there are no PR heroes in popular culture. Journalists have plenty – going back to even before Clark Kent and through the ages we’ve had All the President’s Men and a lot of other films/books/TV shows which show journalists to be the good guys.
But there’s no PR equivalent. Can anyone think of one?

But I suppose she counts – though I always thought Danny got the better of her.
Stephen Fry and John Bird in Absolute Power. Ok, they were devious, mendacious, deceitful bastards, but they were at least LIKEABLE…
