Writing, taking pen to paper and spelling out all the words trapped in your head. Public Relations is just that, but a little more structured. Public Relations is about the love of wring (or liking enough), it's about making sure things are clear, short and true. These three little words are goal for whatever channel one is using. This medium could be annual report, brochure, case study or news brief, these are a few of the many formats a Public Relations person may write, see Types of Writing for further input. Going into Public Relations, one doesn't have to enjoy writing, you don't have to, it helps but you can learn to enjoy it over time.
