Case Study:
Edward Bernays
Public Relations Pioneer
Who was Edward Bernays?
Born in Vienna in 1891, distant nephew of Sigmund Freud
His approach to public relations was to use symbols and the mass media to engineer consent
He claimed the public was essentially reactive
But the rise of the middle class meant that there was no longer the ruling class and the uneducated masses who followed dumbly . . .
What did he believe?
This emerging new social strata needed to be controlled and led.
He believed in a completely hierarchical view of society: the intelligent few have been charged with the responsibility of contemplating and influencing the tide of history and of dealing with the masses.
How did he deal with the masses?
Used sociology, psychology and economics and applied them to the messages and methods
He saw the PR expert as an applied social scientist educated to use an understanding of these three fields to influence and direct public attitudes (in a democratic society!)
How did he deal with the masses?
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
Edward Bernays
What is PR?
“Of course, you know, we don’t deal in images, we deal in reality.”
For Bernays, PR was about creating and projecting credible renditions of reality itself.
He called news any overt act which stands out of the routine.
A PR expert carries out an overt act to interrupt the routine to bring out a response.
PR is the science of creating circumstances which do not appear to be staged.
Edward Bernays
“The public relations counsel sometimes uses current stereotypes, sometimes combats them and sometimes created new ones. In using them, he very often brings to the public a stereotype they already know, to which he adds new ideas, this fortifies his own and gives a greater carrying power.”
Edward Bernays
He fully believed that to manipulate the public, one must know its public as well as know who influences that public
PR experts, as molders of public opinion, must be ongoing monitors of social attitudes.
Edward Bernays
Part of this influencing involved using the implied authority, i.e. the social power of certain groups or leaders
E.g. “Damaged Goods” – he promoted a play about syphillis by securing members of high society and doctors as advocates
To encourage people to eat more bacon, he launched a campaign in which a doctor promoted the benefits of a hearty breakfast
Lucky Strikes
In 1929, Bernays was hired by the tobacco company that made Lucky S.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
