Public Relations in Society
Social media
Topic 9
Lecture objectives
• To introduce social media and its impact on
public relations
• To suggest that communication takes place in a
dynamic environment that poses new challenges
for professional communicators
• To identify some of these challenges for
communicating in an online environment
• To consider the implications for the ways we
conceptualise public relations and its role in
society
Introduction
• “‘Social media’ is the term commonly given to
Internet and mobile-based channels and tools
that allow users to interact with each other and
share opinions and content. As the name
implies, social media involves the building of
communities or networks, encouraging
participation and engagement.” (CIPR 2011 p. 4)
Challenges of the online
environment
• Challenges of the online environment
Conversations in the public domain
Publics become active rather than passive
Direct rather than mediated information flows
• Strategic media management
Publicity model vs relationship model
Digital media and channels
Website metrics and digital media KPIs
Understanding social media and
public relations – industry
attitudes
• Public relations practitioners were slow to
embrace new media and social media
• Barriers include staff, time, budget, along with a
lack of training and a fear of technology
• Practitioners trial social media for personal use
before adopting it in professional practice
• Practitioners increasingly use some form of
social media as part of public relations activity
Understanding social media and
public relations – theoretical
approaches
• Is social media really an opportunity for public
relations to ‘reinvent’ itself with a renewed focus
on dialogue and engagement? Or has nothing
really changed?
• With social media, public relations is a
distributed function performed by many people
in an organisation (Kelleher, 2009).
• There is a tension between organisational or
corporate voices and personal voices via social
media.
Publics and social media
• 78% of Australians use the internet, a figure
comparable with Singapore, Japan and the UK
(Fitch, 2012).
• However, internet access varies depending on
age, income, education and geographical
location.
• Social media allows geographically dispersed
publics to organise around a common issues.
Challenges for organisations
• The 24/7 commitment to social media erodes
professional and personal boundaries.
• Traditional approval processes are inappropriate
for social media, particularly in dynamic
situations.
• Organisations should develop clear policies and
procedures around social media use
(Macnamara, 2011).
• Much communication takes place online and
therefore creates new challenges for
practitioners.
Legal and ethical issues
• Social media challenges traditional notions of
copyright and ownership, exposing legislative
grey areas (Breit, 2007).
• Int.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Possibilities
When you close your eyes and picture yourself working in public relations,
what do you see?
• Do you picture yourself in a chic urban agency or tech startup,
surrounded by hipsters and creative geniuses?
• Are you dressed more formally, working with laser focus on business
strategy in a corporate high-rise?
• Perhaps you’re walking the halls of a children’s hospital with a therapy
dog and a group of reporters?
• Do you see yourself working quietly, uploading data to a government
web page behind the scenes?
• Or are you leading an environmental protest with a bullhorn and a
smartphone, hash-tagging the energy of a movement?

4. Employers
• Agencies
• Corporations
• Nonprofit organizations and
NGOs
• Government
• Self and small business
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e

5. Agencies
Agencies provide corporate clients with
specialized services:
• Research
• Campaign planning and
implementation
• Speechwriting
• Crisis management
• Special events, etc.
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e

6. Corporations
A corporate job on the client side may look
like a posh gig with one “client” to serve.
For example, compared to the
median salary of $36,000 for
account coordinators, the median
salary for a communication specialist
working in-house at a corporation is
$47,500.
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e

7. Nonprofits and NGOs
While nonprofits often benefit from the service of volunteers, as
strategic organizations they operate with business models that
require full-time paid staff.
Nongovernment organizations (NGOs) are one type of nonprofit.
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e
OxfordUniversityPress

Public relations jobs in nonprofits are just as
demanding and require just as much accountability as
corporate job.
8. Government
According to the World Economic Forum, the U.S. Department of
Defense is the largest employer in the world, with 3.2 million people
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e

The second largest is the People’s
Liberation Army of China (2.3 million).
Other top-ten employers are also
government-related, including the UK
National Health Service (1.7 million)
and Indian Railways (1.4 million).
9. Self and small business
On the opposite end of the spectrum from jobs with enormous
government organizations are small businesses—millions of them
worldwide.
In the United States, about half of the eligible workforce is employed
by a small business.
Small firms accounted for 63 percent of new jobs created
from 1993 to 2013.

10. Areas of specialization
You’ll find as many different areas of specialization in public
relations as there are different missions of organizations.
• Health
• Sports and entertainment
• Political and public affairs
• Financial and entrepreneurial
• Consumer
• International

11. Areas of specialization
Health: The goals of healthcare are as universal as the human race.
Sports and entertainment: This is one of the hardest areas to break
into right after college because so many people would love to work
for the athletes and celebrities they already enjoy following.

12. Areas of specialization
Political and public affairs: Political campaigning done well is the
epitome of a public communication process that builds strategy
from research to achieve measurable outcomes.
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e
OxfordUniversityPress
12
Financial and entrepreneurial:
Employers include publicly held
companies like Bank of China, Berkshire
Hathaway and General Electric, Samsung
Electronics and Apple, in addition to
small startup businesses raising capital
for entrepreneurial endeavors.
13. Areas of specialization
Consumer: Consumer public relations is one the most visible
segments of public relations, perhaps because it is so closely tied
with the advertising and marketing of brands we all know well
and products we consume every day.
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e
OxfordUniversityPress
13
The growth of digital, social and
mobile media that reach consumers in
so many ways has further blurred the
lines between public relations,
advertising and marketing.
14. Areas of specialization
International: Healthcare, sports, entertainment, political,
financial, and consumer product organizations and publics are
spread all over the world.
• The relationships between them cross national
borders more than ever before.
• Many organizations distinctly identify themselves as
global or international and specifically seek
employees with a strong desire to work and
communicate across countries and cultures.

15. Public Relations Careers:
Public Relations Specialist
Job description
• Responsible for expanding participation and optimizing
engagement in online communities including Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, Google+, and Pinterest “while operating
within the strict regulatory guidelines of IRBs [institutional
review boards], sponsor companies and FDA.”
• The public relations specialist is also responsible for media
relations and special event support to drive enrollment in
clinical studies.

16. Public Relations Careers:
Investor Relations Coordinator
Sample duties & responsibilities
• Writing for communication with vendors, investors,
attorneys, and third parties
• Discussing investments on phone with investors and their
registered representatives
• Organizing and attending investor conference calls
• Preparing and distributing meeting announcements, time
sensitive documents and ballots to investors
• Processing and disseminating of investor tax documents,
assisting with annual compliance filings and quarterly

17. Education and
continued learning
You’re probably reading this text for one of three reasons:
• You are taking public relations as a required course
for your major in college
• You are taking a public relations course as an elective
for a related degree plan
• You are interested in public relations work and
educating yourself independently.
These reasons represent three common tracks into the field.
Kelleher,PublicRelations,1e
OxfordUniversityPress
17
18. Education and
continued learning
Practicing public relations does not
necessarily require a specific college major.
• Public relations-specific degree programs
offer a series of courses designed to
prepare students for entry into the field.
• If you’re working on a college degree,
however, keep in mind that your broader
education is just as important as your
public relations-specific courses.

19. Skills for the future PR pro
According to public relations blogger and consultant Arik Hanson, the
PR pro of 2022 should have the following skills. Most of the core
competencies are not new, but the contexts for practicing them have
changed.
• Writing for both internal and external publics
• Producing multimedia
• Managing social media content
• Analyzing and presenting data that make sense to
management and clients
• Collaborating online

20. Career tracks and roles
Long before the rise of social media, research suggested that
public relations practitioners could be broadly described as
either fulfilling a technician role or a management role.
In the early 1990s, the PRSA Foundation published a career
guide that outlined five levels of professional growth:
• Technician
• Supervisor
• Manager
• Director
• Executive

21. Case Study
CEO vs. New Hire. Who wins?
After completing a degree in English literature from Cal State
Long Beach, Talia Jane headed north to the San Francisco Bay
area to pursue a career in media.
Jane landed an interview with Yelp/Eat24 and was hired on that
same day.
• Her paycheck was small.
• She placed a letter in Medium.
• What transpired?

22. Ethics
Competition, loyalty and job changes
Most people entering the workforce don’t expect to stay in any one
job for much longer than three years.
• Job hopping, however, creates ethical challenges.
• Mid-career employees also recognize that switching jobs
is often the key to raising earnings and moving up in
management.
As a legal matter, many employees sign employment contracts
that include non-compete clauses prohibiting them from
working for competitors or sharing competitive information
such as trade secrets.

23. Summary
• Identify different types of employers for public relations
jobs.
• Assess how different areas of specialization in public
relations match your interests and consider the
knowledge and skills that jobs in those areas require.
• Plan for your own continuing education in public
relations including core competencies and evolving
skills for a changing media environment.
