Today we’re joined by special guest and Integrative Public Relations professor at CMU, Dr. Elina Erzikova. She made her way from a reporter to the editor-in-chief of a regional newspaper in Russia. While working as a journalist, she taught journalism courses to university public relations students and ran her own journalism school for beginning reporters.
She also worked as a PR manager for a political party in Russia. Erzikova’s academic and professional specialization and passion are located at the intersection of journalism, public relations and political communication.
She has published and presented a number of academic papers and received several academic and professional grants from various organizations. Her main hobbies —photography and travel — are journalism driven.
