PR

Corporate reputation work

PR stands for public relations—the practice of managing how an organization or individual is perceived by the public.

A PR campaign shapes media coverage; a PR disaster is an event that damages reputation: The company's PR team scrambled to contain the scandal.

PR also abbreviates Puerto Rico, the U.S. territory in the Caribbean, commonly seen in addresses and postal codes.

In fitness contexts, PR means personal record—your best performance in a lift or exercise: I hit a new PR on my deadlift today.
