Designer PR


I am both glad and excited to be apart of this new PR movement. For quite some time the PR industry has been associated with propaganda, publicity and lies. It's good to see the industry moving into a new direction that will create more interest and will also ensure that PR is up to date with technology.

Being quite the n.e.r.d I am looking forward to this year if this assignment is anything to go by. In the digital age where almost everything works with the touch of a button it is always good to be too techno-savvy rather than slacking behind.

The move to the Information and Design faculty makes so much more sense.

There is lots of positive aspects that comes from the PR department's move. One of PR's characteristics is to be proactive and over the past years that might have been overlooked.

I agree that this change into a new direction will generate more attention for PR and through keeping up to date with trends in technology it brings back the proactive characterisitics.

The move not only keeps the bases of what we have always know PR to be but opens up new prospects for it to grow,develop and influence. Change is good and this change will be a great benefit for PR.
