What are some of the specialties or functions of PR?

           Public relations have many specialties whether it has to do with gaining press coverage or helping manage issues within their field of work.  Some specialties that I read about were promoting and selling, which entails providing pieces of work so others can view their work and possible gain business due to their liking.  Also Public relations handles community relations and by doing this they can gain the communities approval.  If the community gets involved and happen to enjoy what you are promoting it helps get the general public to hop on board.  Special events go hand in hand with community relations because once you have got the community  on your side it is Public relations now has to arrange tours, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and open housed for the public.   The last thing that jumped out to me about public relations specialties was lobbying which includes working with legislative aides to help get the government looking at them with a positive attitude.  Also this helps them gain power by having more government relations efforts.
