Public Relations Point of View
In a recent opinion piece submitted to the Pensacola News Journal, a Santa Rosa county resident questioned the need for a full-time public information officer position in the county. Joy Tsubooka, FPRA board member and a former Escambia County Office of Public Information and Communications employee, was selected for the position.
In response to the opinion, the FPRA Pensacola chapter board of directors agreed to submit a viewpoint authored by chapter president Jeff Nall, APR to dispel common misconceptions about our industry and highlight the important role public relations plays in any organization's overall success.
I would encourage you, as a member of FPRA and a practitioner in the field, to review this Viewpoint and post a comment online in support of our profession. By educating our community about the many duties of public relations, together we can dispel the suggestion that communicating is a part-time job and prove the value of our professional efforts.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Richardson
Vice-President of Communications
Pensacola Chapter - Florida Public Relations Association
