These outlets are drastically shifting and changing how reporters interact with media and who reporters are . In this book, we will look at what an influencer is, what the role of media outlets are today and break down for everyone’s understanding what the role of Public Relations, and the role of Public Relation professionals are in this ever-changing landscape . This book is designed to be a digital download to supplement your existing PR Textbooks – we plan to update the book each quarter to ensure it’s relevant, current, and timely . There are still a lot of principles and the core of PR is the same but I think the outlets are changing . There is a financial shift of where people and brands are spending their advertising dollars . Most major media outlets are shifting their staffing, whether or not they even have staff .
