Where PR is found in YOUR everyday life

Since I have started taking this Public Relations course, a lot of people have asked me "what the heck is PR?" or "why is that even necessary?" To these people, I try to explain that public relations is all around them. Most of the time they still don't get it. So for those people, this blog is for you.

Public relations has been around you your whole life. For example, think back to when you were in highschool. Try to remember that one time you told that ONE person your parents were going away for the weekend. Next thing you knew, the whole school was talking about a party happening in your crib. This is an everyday example of PR in your life.

Now, I know in this situation you wouldn't be able to just call a press conference or send off a news release telling everyone otherwise. But you would need to handle it with some serious communication strategies. Communication is just one thing I learn in my PR course.
