PR Studies

The meaning of PR

PR means many different things to many people. It is understandably assumed to involve improved relations with the public in many countries (eg The Maldives) though this meaning seems quaint in a US or UK context.

Many of my first year students will understand public relations as the face-to-face activity that promotes attendance at nightclubs. Even press publicity will seem a novel concept to some of them.
