DeleteFantastic profession. Tryphina, what is the role of public relations professions in changing the world?
ReplyDeletepicture the world without communication or with one way communication, where by the audience or recipients are been manipulated by persuader, and they playing with their emotions or not involved in the conversation at all, so the role of PRP is to be the voice of the voiceless and gives everyone the opportunity to say what they want to say without fear of anything.
