Defining PR
Ask 10 PR professionals to define their industry, and you may get 10 different answers. In some ways, that’s a cool perk – it gives professionals the freedom to tailor their communications strategies to fit each client or goal. On the other hand, there’s a balance point at which consensus is needed to give the public relations field guiding principles. Plus, practitioners need to be able to answer the inevitable question, “What is PR?”
