Chapter 14 Exercise

Compare the classes of journalism (PR for me) to that of a business major.

As a public relations major, I have the opportunity to take classes like Graphic Communications, where I work with Photoshop and InDesign and other more creative focused classes. The business classes are more mathematical focused and economic based. There are some overlaps, like marketing classes and legal based classes. These additional business courses that business majors take would be helpful in my career as a lot of the journalism and PR world overlaps. Policies of economics and marketing are important in the PR world to know things like the justice of my pay, my taxes, and knowing what is legal and available with working with public relations projects.
