Book Description

Social media is having a profound, but not yet fully understood impact on public relations. In the 24/7 world of perpetually connected publics, will public relations function as a dark art that spins (or tweets) self-interested variations of the truth for credulous audiences? Or does the full glare of the internet and the increasing expectations of powerful publics motivate it to more honestly engage to serve the public interest? The purpose of this book is to examine the role of PR by exploring the myriad ways that social media is reshaping its conceptualization, strategies, and tactics. In particular, it explores the dichotomies of fake and authentic, powerless and powerful, meaningless and meaningful. It exposes transgressions committed by practitioners—the paucity of digital literacy, the lack of understanding of the norms of social media, naivety about corporate identity risks, and the overarching emphasis on spin over authentic engagement. But it also shows the power that closely networked social media users have to insert information and opinion into discussions and force "false PR friends" to be less so. This timely, challenging, and fascinating book will be of interest to all students, researchers, and practitioners in Public Relations, Media, and Communication Studies.

Book Description

Given the high rate of social media use by the public, organizations are compelled to engage with key audiences through these outlets. Social media engagement requires organizations to actively participate with public groups, and this highly-interactive exchange raises a new set of ethical concerns for communicators. In this rapidly changing communications environment, the long-term implications of social media are uncertain, and this book provides the much needed research to understand its impact on audiences and organizations. Through an examination of a broad range of ethics concepts including transparency and online identities, policies, corporate responsibility, and measurement, this book explores a variety of topics important to public relations such as diversity, non-profit communication, health communication, financial communication, public affairs, entertainment communication, environmental communication, crisis communication, and non-profit communication. The chapter authors, expert scholars within their fields of public relations, offer insights drawn from original research and case study examples of ethical dilemmas raised by social media communication.

Book Description

Communications professionals are never really given the due they deserve. While they are generally supposed to convey what is happening in their respective organizations, on most occasions, organizations actually end up doing what the communications people would want to convey to the external audience. Many recent phenomenon of global importance show that, the messaging, the narrative building around an event becomes more important than the event itself. The advent of new media has tremendously enhanced the importance of the role of communications or public relations professionals. Gone are the days, when an organization would gain popularity or traction among its target audience on its own, or a lazy press release at the end of an event would be sufficient to convey the desired message. This book tries to explore how new media tools are changing the profession of public relations in the Indian context. With separate chapters on how the government run PR is responding to this change and how the corporate world is reacting, the book tries to analyse all possible facets of this change. This effort would certainly be of great value to young PR professionals as well as students who wish to pursue public relations as a profession.
