Public relations

Question
What is the purpose of public relation’s job? 
Answer
Public relations (PR) exists to get exposure for your business or product. It typically means getting a story in some kind of media, such as newspapers, magazines, blogs or web sites, and/or making a guest appearance on radio and television talk shows.

Even though it's common for a company to hire public relations professionals to help acquire such coverage, the PR exposure itself usually happens without direct cost.
