The industry

The public relations industry is worth billions of dollars and is home to thousands of firms in the United States alone. From corporate branding and crisis PR to celebrity management, the opportunities in the field are many and varied. The top professionals in the field call cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City home. In the PR industry networking is absolutely essential. Professionals need to know others in the field, and more importantly, need connections in the media world and at key organizations. An internship in the United States is the perfect way to begin pursuing that dream.
