Looking Around

I was searching the web tonight looking for some good info on public relations and found this government site that I was thought was extremely helpful and thorough. Click here to check it out. I read some stuff on there that I had never heard about public relations. Apparently, after five years of full-time PR work or teaching, you can take an Examination for Accredidation and become an accredited PR professional.

Information on the website also said that from 2006 to 2016, the public relations field is expected to grow by 18%, which is above average for all fields. That's good news for us PR folk hoping to get a job; it does, however, also state that the field is getting more and more competitive. Better get your A game on.
