PR: A lot less drama?

Does anyone really knows what PR does actually in their daily life? Well, besides helping artists and their dramas... Anyone really? Well of what I know, Public Relations (PR) is the practice of managing the flow of information between an individual or organization and the public. Well, if you guess this right, then a round of applause!

Now, the class start of by having a play/drama. We chose PR because it was really easy since PR is a lot of "a drama kinda job," so it was quite easy to think about the script while put everything into play. Nana was the main character (the artist), Faza is her manager/publicist who works as Nana's well, practically everything: from the manager to her publicist to her PA and to her servant at some point perhaps? Anyways, Min was the reporter/journalist, the so called "Mak Joyah" of the play, you know "Inspector 5 Star Kepoci" and I'm the TV host, also a "kepoci".

Basically, the message that we are trying to convey in the act is that when you work as a PR, you tend to "lie" to some certain extent to clear up people's name. That's part of the job. But lying is not really the word. It's more of manipulating, tricking the public about their clients. Tell the public good things about their clients to clear up their names and so on. So there you have it. just a stint on what PR does for a living especially the ones that are working for the artist. Cheers!
