Les relations publiques, une profession en devenir


Book Description

Associés tantôt à des manipulateurs d'opinion, tantôt à des doreurs d'image, les professionnels des relations publiques souffrent de leur mauvaise réputation. Accusés de masquer la vérité au profit de l'organisation qui les emploie et, par conséquent, au détriment de la société, la majorité d'entre eux travaillent pourtant activement à maintenir des relations harmonieuses entre l'organisation et ses publics afin d'aider les deux parties à réaliser leurs objectifs. Le constat de Michel Dumas : l'absence de réglementation nuit directement à la profession. Actuellement, n'importe quel communicateur peut se présenter comme un professionnel des relations publiques et employer les méthodes qu'il entend. Il devient urgent de protéger le public contre ces spin doctors en accordant une reconnaissance officielle aux véritables professionnels. Aussi, cet ouvrage veut montrer que les relations publiques sont une profession en devenir, centrée autour d'une définition de plus en plus commune, s'appuyant sur un corps de connaissances éprouvé, bénéficiant d'un rayonnement certain dans les milieux de l'enseignement et de la recherche et encadrée par des associations nationales et internationales qui engagent leurs membres à respecter un code d'éthique.

The System of Professions


Book Description

In The System of Professions Andrew Abbott explores central questions about the role of professions in modern life: Why should there be occupational groups controlling expert knowledge? Where and why did groups such as law and medicine achieve their power? Will professionalism spread throughout the occupational world? While most inquiries in this field study one profession at a time, Abbott here considers the system of professions as a whole. Through comparative and historical study of the professions in nineteenth- and twentieth-century England, France, and America, Abbott builds a general theory of how and why professionals evolve.
