I know you think my decision to study public relations is a waste of my time and of our parents' money. You think it's not as practical as your study of engineering and math. You think that all practitioners do is spin the truth to put their clients in a good light and that there is no real value to public relations. Well, you're wrong.
As a public relations practitioner, my job will be to do more than take a bad story and make it sound good, or choose words that change the meaning of a message. My job will be to relay accurate and important information to the public about the companies or clients I represent.
Think about it this way: what if your beloved Pistons player Rip Hamilton is accused of something he didn't or put in to some sort of negative spotlight. Now let's say I do public relations for Pistons Basketball. Don't you think it would be important for me to get information out about correcting the false information and shining a good spotlight on Rip? Wouldn't you want to know the real truth? That's what I'm here for. I'm not manipulating information; I'm sharing what is accurate about whomever I may work for.
Have fun crunching numbers, and go Pistons,
Liz
