Welcome to the first posting on the PR Spot.
Here's hoping you find my ramblings of some interest...
So here it goes....
I've only just started my journey in the PR field being a first year uni student and having never really thought that PR was anything extra special.
I haven't as yet read the material which I was required to read so this first post is just my personal thoughts on what PR is meant to be about.
I've never actually sat down and consciously thought about the workings of PR, but I suppose there's always a first time...
My very primative understanding of PR is that it encompasses marketing and publicity amongst other things. PR practitioners help with events and media releases to name a stunted few. From what I gather (and let me warn you at this point it isn't much) PR practitioners work in a field that is so large that it would be very difficult to cover all aspects in one semester or even a complete university course.
Most of the learning happens on-the-job. Much like alot of other fields, PR requires a hands on approach to truely grasp its wider workings.
Hopefully this understanding will broaden over the coming weeks, what with more reading and subconcious consumption of Melanie's teachings I hope to fully understand, myself, this area of marketing or the like so as I can master the minefield that is PR.
Hope you look forward to learning with me.
