PR-mageddon
Margaret Murray, Ph.D.
The pandemic upended both PR and higher education, so Professor Margaret Murray started PR-mageddon to help graduating seniors get a glimpse inside today’s PR industry. She’ll be interviewing people from all over the field, from large agencies to solo practitioners, some with decade of experience and others who graduated just a few years ago. PR-mageddon will cover governmental PR, agency work, C-Suite communications, and much more. If you’re interested in hearing PR pros talk about the challenges and thrills of PR today, subscribe now.
