  1. So, that is a broad, philosophical description of what a public relations agency does, at a broadest level. Now let's talk about what a public relations specialist actually does in the practical world. A public relations specialist is responsible for gathering and disseminating information, and responding to any requests. 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. Politicians, athletes and talk-show hosts are all examples of public figures. Usually, a public relations specialist manages or oversees the PR campaigns of these public figures. A third aspect of public relation that's not as philosophical is the work of the agency when it is requested to perform investigative work on a newspaper or magazine. This type of newsgathering can sometimes be called "behind-the scenes" work. This type of media coverage sometimes requires the services of a PR firm because the reporters and other media personalities don't want to be bothered with all the public relations and press releases. The agency will handle the entire PR effort, making sure the story is accurate and well-kept. A public relations agency will sometimes be called upon to defend a particular company, politician, athlete or celebrity against an attack advertisement or defamation suit. The company's reputation will be at risk in this instance, so the public relations agency must do all it can to protect it before the court of opinion. Media personalities can sometimes get themselves into hot water, especially if they react negatively to a negative piece of news. The same goes for sports teams, business people, bands and musicians. A public relations agency may also be called upon to defend a public figure who has been accused of sexual harassment or other criminal activity. The PR agency may need to develop a variety of public statements and social media strategies in order to website defend the individual. The firm may also have to make available certain information about the situation, perhaps compiling a list of sexual harassing incidents that have come up in recent weeks, months or days. These statements can be posted on social media and in press releases. Another type of public relations function that many PR agencies perform is that of media liaison, meaning that they work with other entities such as newspapers, radio stations and television stations to get news out about a specific company, organization or person. It could include creating press releases and personal correspondences. An PR firm might be able to post news about new products or services on the shelves of stores at the exact same time it goes public. This liaison can also be used to maintain celebrity reputations. Public relations agencies often write articles for magazines and newspapers that are 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. If the articles are used in the proper context and with proper keyword search, a PR company can help to increase the website traffic for a product or service by appearing in an informative way on the web. An experienced PR company will know how to find keywords that can be used to attract attention to products. There are no limits on what can be published or written about an organization and business via social media. A public relations agency can post press releases and commentaries on a company's brand or business to Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. The same goes for blogs. An PR company can create blogs relevant to the business, and post links to their website or Facebook pages whenever it is interesting. This helps to promote the brand and keep the public informed about upcoming events and trends.
