WEEK 2!
This week in Introduction to Public Relations I read the first few chapters of the big textbook and as I don't have the other textbook yet I didn't read any of it.
I think the key points to remember from this weeks readings are:
* the different skills that Public Relations practitioners use in their work, like managing and problem solving
* definitions of Public Relations
* different roles of Public Relations practitioners, from writing newsletters to communicating with many publics.
* the difference between marketing and PR. This is something that I was confused about before I read the textbook. I wasn't sure where the line was between PR and marketing, although now I have a better understanding that PR is less money driven and more about mending and keeping good relationships with a company's publics.
The readings made me think more about public relations theory/ practice in that I understand the basics of 'What is PR?' and a brief history of PR.
I need to buy the other textbook to finish off the readings for this week. I'll get it on Thursday.

Very enlightening stuff!
Keep it up!
I really liked your pattern of writing about a topic. It is the best option to be accurate and to-the-point in explaining the reading. The pattern which you have used, which explain, 'what you know' first and then 'what you found confusing' was highly impressive. In fact it has made the topic much clearer to me. I am not saying this just to fill the comment on the blog. I think you have done a tremendous job considering that it was just our first blog. I mean, I was really confused about what to write. I think you are a budding blogger ;D
