I recently took a call from a Humber College student. She asked if I was a working journalist. When I informed her that I both wrote and taught, she asked if I could help her with an essay she was researching. In her studies, one of her instructors had directed her to answer this question:
“Can public relations people get along with journalists? And conversely, can journalists get along with PR people?”
“It depends,” I told her on the phone.
