If you are a college student looking to break into the sports public relations field and you didn’t take part in the Steelers 2021 Virtual Public Relations Student Summit, you have no idea what you missed.
The summit provided an overview of NFL public relations, working with the media, social media, applying for jobs and resume building.
And it came from the best in the business, from the Steelers’ communications staff made up of director Burt Lauten, manager Michael Bertsch, coordinator Angela Tegnelia and intern Thomas Chapman, along with guest panelists former Steelers’ quarterback and current media member Charlie Batch and the NFL Network’s Steve Wyche, one of the most respected individuals in sports media.
