Defining PR
In 1974:
Public relations is a distinctive management function which helps establish and maintain
mutual lined of communication, understanding, acceptance and cooperation between an
organization and its publics; involves the management of problems or issues; helps
management to keep informed on and responsible to public opinion; defines and
emphasizes the responsibility of management to serve the public interest; helps
management keep abreast of and effectively utilize change, serving as an early warning
system to help anticipate trends; and uses research and ethical communication techniques
as its principal tools.
Later on, reputation was added to the definition:
PR is the discipline which looks after reputation, with the aim of earning understanding
and support and influencing opninion and behavior. It is the planned and sustained effort
to establish and maintain goodwill and mutual understanding between and organization
and its publics.
Reputation: the beliefs and opninions someone has about another person, organization or
