what does PR entails?

Public Relations are activities used to create “public interest” in a business/ corporation, institution or even a person or an idea.  It is also the management function which evaluates public attitudes, identifies the policies and procedures of an individual or Organization with the public interest, plans, executes, and  evaluates a program of action to earn understanding acceptance.PR departments or individuals work to build a bond with employees, customers, investors and the general public. The business world of today is extremely competitive. Companies need to have an edge that makes them stand out from the crowd, something that makes them more appealing and interesting to both the public and the media. The public are the buyers of the product and the media are responsible for selling it.
How do I become a PR Manager
Public relations managers are responsible for promoting and managing the public images of their clients or organizations. To become a public relations manager, you first should earn at least a four-year college degree in public relations, communications, journalism or a related area. Before choosing a college program, make sure that it offers internship opportunities; working in an internship will allow you to compile writing clips, gain experience and possibly make connections for future employment. Writing skills are vital to this career, as are oral communications skills, so it is important to hone or polish these abilities.
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a company’s reputation. Staff that work in public relations, or as it is commonly known, PR, are skilled publicists. They are able to present a company or individual to the world in the best light. The role of a public relations department can be seen as a reputation protector.
