Public relations specialists

Reshaping now
45.3%of tasks show up in AI use
+6.8%job postings vs a year ago

Public relations specialists score 45%. Press releases, pitch emails, media lists and holding statements are firmly in AI’s comfort zone. A relationship with a journalist, or judgement in a crisis, is not. Postings in Indeed’s media and communications category are up 7% on a year ago but still around 30% below early 2020. The writing is getting cheaper; the reputation work is not.
