#pr stuff

I think learning that a lot of the Power Rangers actors from the Saban Era were either from pretty poor, working class or generally precarious backgrounds hurt my heart really bad after learning how terribly they were consistently treated. Multiple of them being homeless/living out of cars, getting injured (when they used to do their own stunts) and not having medical insurance despite having extremely physical jobs, the fact that a chunk of them couldn't afford to live near studios so they had to commute while also working 12 hour days after recording in California summer heat (sometimes in literal Death Valley).

... it was actually funny watching people wondering what he had in that backpack when it was an obvious ad ... look at Jenner's besties today

on the subject of louis and liam:

May I ask what industry you’re in for PR? I’ve got a bachelors degree in PR/Communications and I’ll start my masters soon. I’ve done one internship in an agency that worked with tv shows and actors and another internship in the health ministry. I enjoyed both, but the tv show agency was definitely more stressful, but also getting all the inside information was fun lol. My point is, is there any industry that you’ve loved working in or that you’d advise people not to get started in? I’m also gonna apply for a side job to an agency that does media training for a variety of clients, I think that would be fun too, except I’m horrible in front of cameras myself lol

So I’ve been teaching an APR (Accreditation in Public Relations) class for the past four months.  Tonight is my students’ Readiness Review, in which they present the project portfolio they’ve worked on under my guidance for the past several months to a panel of veteran APRs.  Sort of like defending your master’s thesis.  I’m just hovering, escorting students in and out of sessions, keeping their enthusiasm up, calming their anxiety...but my job with this class is almost done.  As of tonight, they either move on to their national examination or not. Hopefully I’ve helped prepare them well.  I’ll miss them, and it seems a little odd that they’re off on their own now....and I’ll have my Monday nights back.
