PR News Post #21

This post isn't really dedicated to any well known or national PR news, but it is my own personal PR news!  I just got an internship this summer people!  I am so excited!  It is an internship in Washington D.C.  Not only is it an internship, but it is a public relations internship in the heart of our nation's capitol!  I am so excited to get all the experience that I need to get a great job once I graduate!  Although this is a very expensive internship,  they provide me with a place to live, and I get to take classes at Georgetown University!  I am so excited!  So that is my own personal PR news for the week!  

PR News Post #20

So I'm not sure if I have already talked about this in my PR news posts yet, but if so, I am sorry, but I just feel I need to say how I feel about this whole thing.  What is this thing I speak of?  Well, it is the "going green scam," or at least that's what I call it!  Here I am sitting on my couch trying to stay healthy by drinking my bottled water I just got out of the fridge.  Out of pure boredom, I start reading the label on the side of my "nestle pure life" water bottle.  What does it say?  The company has gone eco-friendly by making the bottle more friendly for the environment!  I just think this thing is so pathetic!  It is a plastic bottle people!  All these companies are using what their PR are people are telling them to do by "going green," when it actually does nothing different.  I guess I don't really have much proof.  I'm just going off my gut feeling, and it makes me angry!
