Defining PR
• Harlow (1976)
o Management function: something you do intentionally, something you plan
o Mutual lines of communication: not one-sided
o Its publics: variety of types of stakeholders
o Responsibility & public interest: had duty of care inside as well as outside the
organization
• The first World Assembly of Public Relations Associations (1978):
o Art and social science: creativity
o Serve both he organizations and the public interest
• Grunig & Hunt:
o ''the management of communication between an organisation and its publics''
o ''an organisations' managed communications behavior''
• The UK's Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR):
o ''PR is the discipline which looks after reputation, with the aim of earning
understanding and support and influencing opinion and behaviour. It is the planned
and sustained effort to establish and maintain goodwill and mutual understanding
between an organisation and its publics.''
PR is a complex concept. There are many different definitions. This indicates that there are many
components that we have to take into account when we talk about PR.

1. Management function.
2. Two-way communication.
3. Planned activity.
4. Research-based social science.
5. Socially responsible.
