Week 1

hi, my name is Rebecca Rabe. I have not as yet read the readings for this week and have planned to do this this afternoon. I am looking forward to learning more about public relations practice as I see the industry as an area that i can utilise my talents in talking and meeting new people as an asset to a profitable and enjoyable career. I find Public Relations as a profession entails the development and implementation of strategies for a specific company or client in the management of public and private image which often includes crisis management and public promotion (often viewed as propaganda by the arch nemesises journalists- the apparent polar opposites to PR practitioners). I will later put in the required readings for this week using the two sentences outlined in the blackboard outcomes for this assignment.
