How do I get an entry level job in public relations?

Hello. I graduated December 2005 with a BS in Communications, concentrating in broadcast journalism. I've spent the time since then trying to get into law school, and while I succeed, I hated it and didn't want the debt. So I was trying to see if I could get a job in public relations. I have ample public speaking and news writing classes from my degree, but no PR-specific internships which is the big source of entry-level jobs. How would I go about procuring one with my credentials? I don't have a portfolio per se, but some clips from my news writing classes. Any ideas? If you desire more details, just ask. Thanks!
