Be inquisitive, ask good questions, and do the appropriate research in advance.



This is the interview i done with the professional below.


relations industry and conduct an interview. Each individual will submit a written report on

the research they acquired during their conversation. Reports should cover the following:

 What is the structure and organization of the PR department?

  • I work for a non-profit that is organized in a few different departments. Business Development, Marketing, Product Team, and Campaigns. As the PR team, it’s our job to work cross-functionally to have an understanding of all the departments in the team. PR falls under the marketing team, and we primarily serve the business development team. What business development sells to sponsors, it’s our job to bring to life and create buzzy launches and opportunities for partnerships.

 What is the skill that a good PR person must have

  • Flexibility! This job changes every day, and you have to be flexible. You should be able to adapt to wide range of situations quickly, have an understanding of what media is covering and not just one channel, you should understand TV, Print, and online media. You should always have input on how to make press interested in your clients or projects.

 Your PR goals and objectives

  • Working “in-house” versus in an agency, my goals are aligned with the goals of the overall marketing strategy for the organization. My goals are normally set around building awareness for the overall organization. My goal is to brand our organization and our team members as experts in the social change space.

 Main publics

  • I have two publics, Old people (press, partners, donors, the board of directors), young people( our 6M member’s ages 13-25).

 Primary communication tools

  • I primarily contact media via email. I also use services like Cision and PRNewswire that allow me to message a large number of people at once. I also believe it’s important to call people to follow-up.

 What type of computer Main and/or current programs that are used?

  • I mostly use Cision which allows me to find contacts, blast press releases, monitor multiple news sites, and track all pick-up.

 What’s required to enter the industry

  • It truly varies, but most people have some understanding of marketing and communications.

 How hard is it to move your way up in the industry

  • It depends on you and your dedication to the career, as well as the opportunities you get. Most people who start off at an Agency, have faster growth trajectories.

 What are the advantages of an in-house public relations

department?

  • The advantage of an in-house PR department is that you have someone who understands your organization much more intimately. The person is usually an expert in everything that goes on inside of your business, and an expert in getting your story told, and to the right places for your brand.

 In what direction do you see the public relations industry heading?

  • DIGITAL! All things are leaning towards social media. We’ve lost a large number of print publications, which are being replaced with online content. Many PR roles are now also focusing on influencer relations, people value the power of influencers over press mentions at times.

In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court declared laws that require judges to
impose life-without-parole sentences for juveniles to be in violation of
the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishments.”
The decision (Miller v. Alabama) was a 5-4 split in the Court – which is typical of many such decisions that apply the cruel and unusual punishment provision.

Your initial post must analyze the retributive justice issues of
mandatory, life-without-parole sentences. Consider the facts of Miller v. Alabama:
Defendant Miller, a 14-year old boy, with an accomplice beat the victim
with a baseball bat and set his trailer on fire with the victim inside.
Defendant Miller was tried as an adult for capital murder while
committing arson.

Is a mandatory, life-without-parole sentence just in such
circumstances? Remember that “just” may or may not be the same as
“constitutional.” Summarize both the pros and the cons of your answer to
this question, and critically evaluate these pros and cons, applying
principles of retributive justice discussed in the text. Your evaluation
must respond to the pros and cons, giving persuasive reasons why you
agree with some and disagree with some.

Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length. Support
your claims with examples from at least two of the required resources
for this discussion, and properly cite any references. Respond to at
least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7 whose viewpoints are
different from yours. Each peer response must be at least 125 words.
Stimulate critical thinking by contrasting your perspective with your
classmate’s and explaining yours, or by asking your classmate a question
and explaining why your question is significant.

Managers should be able to proactively identify key challenges around staffing, performance management, and compensation in order to construct strategies and plans for addressing these challenges. This starts with what I call analyzing your “HR landscape.” In fact, in the capstone project for the HRM specialization, you will be asked to undertake this kind of assessment as a foundation for developing specific practices for effectively managing people. So let’s gain some practice doing some of this in this assignment.

For this assessment, you will need to focus on a specific organization. This can be the organization you work for, or it can be an organization for which you can find information through media reports, online searches, or personal contacts. Depending on the level of your information, you can focus on the organization as a whole or on a specific part of the organization (including your work group if you want). Whatever you are focusing on will be called the “unit” for the remainder of this project.

Your submission will contain eight things (this might sound like a lot, but the project is broken down into very focused steps):

  1. A description of the scope of the unit you are focusing on.
  2. A description of the mission or key responsibilities of this unit.
  3. A description of one important set of employees in this unit.
  4. An analysis of the main motivators for this important set of employees.
  5. An identification of the key HR priorities for managing this important set of employees.
  6. An identification and justification of the type of HR strategy that would be most effective for managing these employees.
  7. An identification and justification of the types of managerial styles that would be best suited for managing these employees.
  8. An analysis of the internal and external influences that shape the strategies that you recommend in questions 6 and 7.
