Basically PR is about handling media and their depiction of organisations, people, etc through liasing with them.

You can be a consultant to organsations and manage crises such as when a negative story may leak into the media about an organisation, PR people handle how they can remedy the public's perception of the org and rehabilitate the org's image so that the repercussions are not as great.

I read vertigo last night. Which bit did you write?

(and I probably sound lame for this, but I don't get the whole plastic hut thing. is it some kind of in joke?)

On another tangent, Ashlee, I read your article today. Good stuff! (yes I'm still at UTS now, probably won't go home until sometime after breakfast)

Look at my MSN screen name now...that sums up what I think of sleeping over at uni.

It was my nanosciences final groupwork POS. Worth 50% of the subject.

[Lexicographer]

If you were in Building 10 however

 

[Lexicographer]

They're all the same, the building 10 ones are actually less comfy because the cushioning is thinner. I know these things now.

 

[MoNNiE]

how can u say that about the couches!!
i fell asleep on them on last wednesday! --it's good to be small

 

[Lexicographer]

Did you? Oh, to have seen that...

I still can't get over what happened last Friday. The whole thing backfired on you!

[Lexicographer]

Have you spoken to one of those counsellor people the uni keeps reminding us about?

 

[Soma]

yeah same here, i want to do p.r as well but struggle with the moral issues!! i guess cos i'm sort of a politically minded person, i'd feel weird basically being paid to decieve the public! but... oooh well. i guess like any field there are some good jobs and some bad ones!

how come yr life is confusing? do you want to be a banker now youve got yr swish city job?

 

[Soma]

ha i sound like a drama queen i dunno,
just not really liking uni all that much atm, plus have a few other issues atm

 

[spin spin sugar]

yeh i know what you mean, i just emailed someone bout deferring next semester and if i would have a better chance of getting into pub. comm/law that way (cos its based strictly on uai and i cleared last yr's cut off pretty well). if she says yes im DEFINITELY, definitely deferring

i hope you sort your stuff out dude!!!
