    propaganda, smokescreen, self aggrandizement, plausible deniability and attention whoreing.

    Whenever I think PR, I think of the word "press release."

    They have a lot of uses. Generally it's to make the company's image better and cover up its worst assets, but not all companies push advertising or philanthropy in that division. Then again, they're usually the last to know anything going on in the other divisions, good or bad.

    I like to simplify the position as one a company doesn't need other than a place where the boss can stash his hot mistress....

    public relations is way more important than you know, it is slowly absorbing advertising and marketing positions into its own. pretty soon there won't be a marketing/advertising division in major companies, it will just all be public relations.

    oh, yeah, and PR people make a lot of money. meaningless job? yeah ok.
