Public Relations Specialist: Career Brief

Thursday March 6, 2008

The job of a public relations specialist is to spread his or her client's message to the public. Public relations specialists do this by writing press releases and distributing them to those in the media who will, in turn, print or broadcast that information, which generally is positive. They also make presentations on behalf of their clients and represent their clients at meetings and events.
