Is Public Relations Liked Portrayed on TV?

Public relations is a business that is about promoting your client(s) and protecting their image in a way that is most beneficial to the client, yourself, and the public. As a franchise public relations professional, you have to communicate messages to the public while also establishing mutual relationships with target audiences (internal and external). You will see public relations professionals performing these duties wherever you see public relations.

We see public relations everywhere, one of those places is on television.

However, one frequently asked question of a public relations professional is if the job is like how we see it on television shows like "Sex in the City", "Entourage", and some other shows. To tell you the truth, the answer is: not really. These are surely roles in the franchise PR world that exist but the amount of public relations professionals that perform duties like the ones in those shows are not a large part of PR; they are representing a real small sector of PR. Now don't get me wrong, both of those shows are quality, they are not being insulted.

Most public relations professionals are actually working behind the scenes; they write press releases, social media, speeches, media coverage for their clients such as newspaper/magazine/radio/TV appearances. There are a lot of pitches made to journalists, local and national, to get coverage for the client. The publicity and media relations that we see in shows like "Sex in the City" and "Entourage" are only two relatively small sectors of PR; other sectors include: internal PR, crisis communications, political communications, national PR, social media services, and more.
