Anyway, you've got it wrong. There are no "practical" PhDs unless you want to teach. The "practical" degree is the MA. You get an MA in journalism or hospital administration or whatever so you can go journalize or administrate. A PhD would be to teach communications theory at a J School or to teach at some university that offers an MA in hospital admin. MAs are also sometime booby prizes for people who are ABD in PhD programs. It means that they didn't make the cut, didn't have what it takes. But to teach at a university? Yeah, for that the PhD is the "practical" degree because without it, you won't get hired. Now now. Anyway, you’ve got it wrong. There are no “practical” PhDs unless you want to teach.
