And also to present communication strategy by using a Micro PowerPoint, using slide. The challenges that I had experienced here was that how to decide on which slides format to use. Also challenge that I faced is the time I learn a programme that used in the print media it was quite challenging because I suppose to know the programme how it works. I spent some quite time practicing and at the end of the day I able to design pages and place the photos own my
own.
Generally this whole exercise helped me to be exposed in the public relations area and know and understand the responsibilities of the public relations practitioner. Although this was very helpful, I encountered so many challenges when carry out this exercise, for which I learnt more from this PRECPRAC RESEARC PROJECT.
