Basically PR is about handling media and their depiction of organisations, people, etc through liasing with them.

You can be a consultant to organsations and manage crises such as when a negative story may leak into the media about an organisation, PR people handle how they can remedy the public's perception of the org and rehabilitate the org's image so that the repercussions are not as great.

I read vertigo last night. Which bit did you write?

(and I probably sound lame for this, but I don't get the whole plastic hut thing. is it some kind of in joke?)

On another tangent, Ashlee, I read your article today. Good stuff! (yes I'm still at UTS now, probably won't go home until sometime after breakfast)

Look at my MSN screen name now...that sums up what I think of sleeping over at uni.

It was my nanosciences final groupwork POS. Worth 50% of the subject.

They're all the same, the building 10 ones are actually less comfy because the cushioning is thinner. I know these things now. :p

yeah same here, i want to do p.r as well but struggle with the moral issues!! i guess cos i'm sort of a politically minded person, i'd feel weird basically being paid to decieve the public! but... oooh well. i guess like any field there are some good jobs and some bad ones!

how come yr life is confusing? do you want to be a banker now youve got yr swish city job? :D
