Students Create National PR Publication

COLUMBIA, Mo (PRWEB) August 2, 2004 -- The University of Missouri-Columbia
Public Relations Club recently established Buzz Magazine, a national publication
for public relations students, recent graduates, young professionals and
educators. Buzz will serve as an educational supplement about the public
relations industry.
“We're starting this project to help increase
individuals' knowledge of and love for the public relations field,” said Heather
Pugh, editor of Buzz and president of the PR Club.
The Public Relations
Student Society of America offers many opportunities for students, but not every
institution qualifies for a chapter, such as MU.
“Students need more
than one avenue in which to explore their career. Buzz will help bring all
budding public relations professionals together and give them an opportunity to
contribute to the industry,” said Pugh.
On the first
of every month, beginning Sept. 1, Buzz will be distributed via e-mail for free
to subscribers. While the production staff will consist of MU students, students
and professionals from across the nation will contribute articles.
In addition to cover and feature stories, Buzz will
contain regular columns, including Q&A with a CEO, Book Reviews and Media
Pitching Tips and Techniques.
All columns already have writers for the
year, but Buzz needs approximately 10-15 feature articles per issue. Buzz’s
staff encourages anyone – students, recent graduates, educators or professionals
– interested in public relations with some writing experience to
contribute.
