Dear Megan,
How are you doing? So I heard that you don't really know anything about what Public Relations is nor what Public Relations professionals write about and that you would like to know more, well I would be happy to share with you what I do know! Public Relations is, as a definition, a management function that helps define an organizational philosophy and direction by maintaining communication within a firm and with outside forces and by monitoring and helping a firm adapt to significant public opinion. I think that sums up pretty good what exactly Public Relations is. As for what we write about it can be many things. We tailor messages for particular media and publics. It also involves various forms of advertise writing, we write stories, and prepare messages for any medium that can convey information. That is just a brief description of what PR is and a little bit about it, I hope that this helped you to understand better what it is and what PR professionals do. If you would like any further information regarding the subject please let me know!
Sincerely,
Michelle Larkin
I think you explained what PR is very well. I noticed a couple grammatical errors such as, "I think that sums up pretty good what exactly Public Relations is." Maybe it could be rephrased, "I think this sums up what Public Relations is fairly well." It could be changed in another way, it's up to you! But 'pretty good' doesn't fit, and 'is' at the end is a dangling preposition. (Sorry I'm a little OCD ;) )
ReplyDeleteI think you did a good job of explaining briefly what PR is and how writing is necessary in the field. Nice work Michelle.
It all sounds great, but it doesn't really feel natural when you say, "a management function that helps define blah blah blah public opinion." Loosen up a bit maybe? It's totally understandable, but just not the same vibe as the rest of the letter, you know?
