  1. So, that is a broad, philosophical description of what a public relations agency does, at a broadest level. Let's now discuss what a professional in public relations does. In general, a public relations specialist gathers and disseminates information and takes care of any public information requests that come their way. They also work to keep any public figures who are in the public eye in good standing with the various news agencies and other media groups. Public figures can include politicians, athletes, talk show hosts, etc. Public relations specialists usually manage or supervise the PR campaigns for these public figures. Another aspect of public relations that isn't as philosophical is what happens when the public relations agency is asked to do a piece of investigative work for a newspaper, magazine, television station, etc. Sometimes this type of newsgathering is referred to as "behind the scene" work. Because reporters or other media personnel don't wish to deal with the press releases and public relations, this type of coverage may require the assistance of a PR company. In this case, the agency would handle all of the PR work, making sure that the story is well-kept, the facts are accurate, and that the target audience receives the correct message. Sometimes, a public relations agency is called to represent a company, celebrity, politician or athlete against defamation suits or attack advertisements. In this case, the company's reputation is at stake, and the agency needs to do everything possible to defend it in the court of public opinion. Sometimes media personalities are in trouble, particularly if they respond negatively to negative news stories. The same goes for sports teams, business people, bands and musicians. Public relations agencies may be asked to represent a public figure accused of sexual harassment, or any other crime. In this situation, the PR firm may have to create a number of social media strategies and public statements in defense of the person. It may be necessary for the PR firm to provide information, such as compiling a list containing recent incidents of sexual harassment. The statements could be made on social media, in press releases and on company websites. Many PR agencies also perform media liaison. This is where they collaborate with radio stations, television stations, newspapers and other organizations to spread news about specific companies, people, or organizations. This may include writing press releases, creating personalized correspondences, submitting news releases to different press release services and working with them to distribute the news. A PR company might even find a way to have news posted about a new product or service on store shelves right around the same time as it becomes public. This liaison can also be used to maintain celebrity reputations. A public relations agency often writes articles for newspapers and magazines that need to be publicized. They are usually written by independent writers contracted by a professional agency. They create articles specifically for that product and then post them on various directories. A PR agency can increase website traffic by placing informative articles on the internet if they are placed in the right context. A PR firm will be good at finding keywords that are likely to draw attention to a product. When it comes to social media, there are not many limits to what can be written and published about a business or organization. For instance, a public relations firm can go onto Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or LinkedIn and write press releases or commentaries about the company or brand. Blogs are the same.
