Thriving As A Communication Or Pr Major

Do you want to design the branding for global clients for a PR Agency? Be the lead anchor for your favorite network sports program? Make headlines by investigating corruption that leads to social change? How do you market yourself for these jobs? This book takes a storytelling approach to help prepare readers for a successful college career in the media industries: public relations, advertising, sports media, broadcast, and journalism. The book begins with the basics to help orient readers to college life and offer tips for coursework and campus media. Then, the author provides insights from over 14 years working with interns in public relations and his scholarship on internships to prepare readers to apply for competitive internships.
