Public Relations (PR) and Other Media Tips,
Resources and Tactics
Public Relations or PR can involve many things, but ultimately it's
about getting your message out, building and maintaining relationships,
clear communications and credibility with key groups and opinion
leaders. It can cost little or nothing, but yield big results, however

clear message will go a long way toward getting good results. (See
