Public Relations Management Handbook Staff

Public Relations in South Africa today is a sophisticated, multi-faceted discipline, able to help forge effective two way communication between an organisation and its various publics. Public Relations Practitioners are responsible for planning and executing programmes to establish and maintain a favourable image for their employer among the public or groups with which it comes into contact. This communication may be face-to-face with individuals or through the mass media of radio, television, press and the Internet. Public Relations Practitioners are equipped with various skills such as writing, speaking, research and establishing relationships, all of which are important to any job so students graduate prepared with real-world skills. Public Relations plays a crucial management role in various organisations for example: government, education, non-profit, politics, the arts, financial, mining, manufacturing and hospitality.
