I know that when I'm asked about what major I have chosen, a good amount of people don't understand what "Public Relations" really entails. By doing a blog all about PR, I think the best way to kick it off would be smart to explain what it truly is.
The profession of Public Relations itself is less than 100 years old, but the idea of PR has been valued since the beginning of time. Although there are many different definitions, its is basically publicity of, similar to a noun, people, places, ideas or things. This includes businesses as well. The most accepted definition is technically though is that it helps an organization and audience "adapt mutually to each other."
It is the goal of Public Relations to inform the public of what a particular organization is doing. From charity being done, to new opportunities that are being made possible by whichever organization being referred to. This is a way to shed positive light unto an organization all while also getting their message out. It is up to those involved with the PR of the organization to find new and exciting ways to promote them and get people excited as well as aware of what is going on.
Public Relations really is something that every possible organization needs. No matter where life takes you, something somewhere is in the need of good PR. This leads to various opportunities available as a career, and endless possibilities of all the neat and new ways you can share some positivity.
Many of my friends also have no idea about "what Public Relations" is, I think I can show them your blog so that I can explain to them.
