    Public Relations Officers are responsible for creating and maintaining a positive image with the public for companies, non-profits and government agencies. They typically are responsible for giving presentations and making speeches, often in front of large crowds. This very competitive field, which often includes highly visible, tight deadlines, keeps stress at high-levels for specialists. Some PR executives are required to interact with potentially hostile members of the media, especially after a disaster.

Unrealistic Expectations

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 01/06/2012 - 15:20.

I am wondering the same thing about the salary, but it can vary quite a bit from working for a non-profit to a large corporation. Actually the media relations is not the most stressful part. It's dealing with the unrealistic expectations of clients, boards, bosses etc. Everyone thinks they know how to do your job better than you do.

Um, WHAT?!

PR Stress is right on the money

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 00:09.

Being in the eye of the media keeps you on your toes. I've been doing PR work for the last 15 years and you never really get a day off. You either have the client hounding you to get more media exposure (which you can't really control) or you have media promising to cover your client and not following through. This is one of those gigs where you take the heat coming and going. And to be honest, I love it! But it is stressful at times.

A typical PR line of bunk. Seventh most stressful? What a joke.

As for pay scale, this too, is disingenuous. Remember, PR is practiced beyond New York, usually with greater quality despite much lower fees to clients and therefore, wages to those involved.
