UNIT 1: PUBLIC RELATIONS PRACTICE IN CAMPAIGN
ORGANISATIONS AND PRESSURE GROUPS In learning unit 1, you
learnt about public relations in campaign organisations and pressure
groups and different tactics used to practise public relations in this context.
According to Fourie and Cant (2017:236), “to plan and manage PR
campaigns effectively, it is necessary for the practitioner to evaluate the
context and industry that PR takes place in, since it can differ from
organisation to organisation”. Using this background and the knowledge
you gained, answer the questions and apply your answers to the practical
task below.
