Public relations (PR) as a profession has been misunderstood and largely unappreciated over the years, especially as many are unable to identify distinguishing features from its sister professions: advertising and marketing.
This, Nigerian Women in Public Relations has said, is the reason they have authored the Experiencing Public Relations book set to be launched tomorrow, Saturday.
According to a release by the women PR professionals, the Experiencing Public Relations book is a compilation of essays from 12 Nigerian women practicing public relations in Nigeria, Ireland, the United States and the United Kingdom.
With contributors ranging from entry-level professionals to veterans with over two decades’ experience, the articles discuss practical steps and raise thought-provoking questions that can help readers navigate their public relations journey from being young professionals to c-suite public relations women.
Narratives from a Medical student Friday, 05 March 2021, 08:00 File image
GEORGE NEWS - Dear George Community and George Municipality, the Homeless need your help.
Last year, as a final year medical student, I did a community project where I listened to the stories of the homeless in George in order to understand their needs and to help give them a voice.
I am now taking the opportunity to share with the community what I have learnt in order to stimulate an understanding of the complexity of homelessness and hopefully to grow support from the municipality.
It is important to realise that homelessness is not simply the result of poverty, but has multiple factors that come into play, including alcohol and drug use, domestic abuse, and family conflict. All of these issues need to be addressed in order to really curb the increasing numbers of homeless people.
