My definition of PR

To me, Public Relations deals with the act of making connections through media gateways whether it is by way of a blog, a Facebook account, Google, etc. I think that Public Relations (or PR) does not just apply to famous athletes, actors, and celebrities but I believe that every person who has to make some sort of contact with other people has to be concerned with PR. I do not think public relations can be confined into one solid definition because it encompasses so much more than face time on TV or a well written and printed resume. PR comes from communication which has such a broad array of avenues by which it is transfered that makes it truly an enigma to attempt to explain all of the ins-and-outs of the concept. I can start by saying that good public relations can be passed on with as simple gestures as a passing smile or a kind word to start someone's day. Many of those type things go unnoticed as PR but anything that makes someone else feel a positive vibe from you generally falls under the category of good PR, however bear in mind there is such a thing as bad PR. Bad PR can be simple as not showing up on time for an appointment or completing an assignment and by doing such sends a bad message to whoever is supposedly evaluating your PR at that moment. PR can be the difference between getting a job and not, marrying a certain someone special or not, or whether or not you receive a speeding ticket or not.
