My first introduction to the idea of PR was through movies and TV shows. PR seemed to be about promoting sports and Hollywood personalities or companies that wanted to persuade us to buy more stuff. Stuff we didn’t necessarily need. It didn’t seem like a career that would provide benefit to humankind. Of course my opinion has changed! After all, I am choosing to work in this field:) I do feel that there are PR careers out there that educate, that promote goodwill, and truly benefit humanity. Monica –your example is exactly the reason I have come to appreciate the work of conscientious PR professionals. I think it is so important to get out a positive message for the agricultural industry. As a public we need to be reminded that we are dependent on the agricultural industry. Farmers certainly need to make a living. If it’s not financially viable for them, they will move on to other types of careers and we will all lose out. You have a very important message to keep sharing with Canadians and the rest of the world. Monica, help us to appreciate the agricultural industry and remind us that we owe them a huge thank you!
