According to public relation society of America (PRSA) public relations can be defined as an activity “Public relations helps an organization and its public adapt mutually to each other. Public Relations broadly apply to organizations as a collective group, not just a business; and publics encompass the variety of different stakeholders” (PRSA’2010).
Public relations is a practice of management which evolves in a slow and steady process in which public relation professional develops and communicate the messages from inside of an organization for outside parties like other organizations’ vendors and business partners’ public at large and government bodies. There is a difference between a business communication and a PR message. A business communication has a specific and focused message which is generally intended towards people who are involved in business practice of an organization. In a business communication organizations are mostly aware of the impact of their communication on the intended party and it bears a formal tone and language. On the other hand a PR communication is never specific in nature and its impact on receiving parties can never be assessed fully because a PR communication is developed keeping view of majority of population in mind however there are certain pockets of people in a population who might behave or perceive the communication as per their own thinking’ imagination and thought process.
A PR is developed for various purposes and objectives by an organization. It could be intended to investors’ possible customers’ public at large or specific communities and groups in population. Purpose of a PR is to develop and maintain a certain point of view in front of people about an organization. PR can be developed to either maintain the image of an organization or a particular stand of view or it can also be developed to propagate a new image or view point as well.
