The Difference Between Journalism and Public Relations

Journalism and Public relations are totally different but then again they seem very similar. one has news it wants to get out the other needs news to cover, even though it doesn't seem like it they have a relationship. Journalists intentions are to provide their readers and audience with accurate, reliable information they need to function in society. their are many different jobs in journalism like for instance researching stories, writing hard news and feature stories,  shooting photographs and video and editing stories and so many other jobs. While Public Relations professionals are intended to influence public opinion and are designed to promote and protect an individual or organization's image and products like I stated previously in another blog. And PRs jobs are press releases, making contacts and media kits and many other jobs.
