Press releases and coverage tracking have gone to AI, so PR teams shrink and need fewer managers. The ones who stay have reporters' trust and set the tone in a crisis.

AI impact · ShrinkingPR & Advertising Manager: what AI changes and what stays
Most days a PR and advertising manager is reviewing drafts and checking how coverage is trending, but the job is remembered for the other days: the ones where a reporter calls early and the company's response has to be right the first time.
What does AI already write for a PR team?
Press releases, ad copy and the daily scan of what's being said about the company are already jobs a language tool does well, freeing up time that used to fill a team of writers. YOU'RE NEXT sees this as a squeeze on team size first: fewer people are needed to produce content, so fewer manager seats are needed to lead them.
Why does a crisis still need a human at the podium?
A reporter who has been misled once stops taking your calls, and a company under public criticism needs someone who has spent years building that reporter's trust to get a fair hearing. Judging the tone of a response while the story is still moving is a live decision no draft can make for you.
How should someone in PR spend the time AI frees up?
Put the saved hours into relationships: reporters who cover your industry, and the executives who need coaching before a hard interview. Practicing how to revise the AI's first draft under pressure, rather than writing one from scratch, is closer to what the job will actually ask of you.
