slide3. Four Quadrants of Public Relations<br>
slide4. Four Quadrants of Public Relations Media – Inclusive of publicity, as well as traditional and social press
Community – Inclusive of internal, external, online, employee, consumer, and personal interactions
Business – Inclusive of investor relations, C-level executive advertisement, and social care (customer service)
Government – Inclusive of political, lobbying, public affairs, and issues management<br>
slide5. Quadrant 1: Media Relations Traditionally, public relations practitioners manage their social media relations responsibilities by sending press releases, pitch emails, arranging interviews, organizing press conferences, and responding to media inquiries.
Example: American Bar Association (ABA)
Pitching the perfect story is dependent upon a practitioner’s ability to spot and capitalize on newsworthy trends occurring in the world.
PR pros are no longer responsible solely for delivering the message, but also for creating the message, maintaining the message, and cultivating the message.<br>
slide6. Quadrant 2: Community Relations Companies and organizations are giving back to the communities in which they reside, which in turn require PR practitioners representing these organizations to further cultivate the relationships between the organization and the community.
“Community” no longer means just the physical community, but also the online community.
Community relations practitioners are asked to perform a multitude of tasks including:
Ability to create, implement, and manage the organization's community awareness initiatives
Create strategic alliances with representatives of consumer, employee, and public interest groups, key provider practices, vendors, government agencies, and prominent community organizations
Participate in community activities surrounding corporate issues, including serving on committees, meeting with elected officials and politicians, sitting on various planning boards, speaking at and attending community board and similar meetings, etc.<br>
slide7. Quadrant 3: Business Relations There is an increased level of responsibility expected of the PR practitioner to guide the CEO, or other executive officials, through the organization’s PR plan, reputation management, and brand management.
Public relations must be a part of every department within a business.
Strategic thinking should include – in addition to customary market and competitive obstacles – significant nation-state cultural, social, and political biases.
Corporate scandals have had an overwhelming impact on how the public assesses corporations, their leaders, and their securities.
Companies must give back to society to begin to regain public trust. Accountability and responsibility are differentiators in today’s global workforce.<br>
slide8. Quadrant 4: Government Relations Practitioners in government relations are also known as public affairs officers or public affairs specialists.
Support the company’s public policy initiatives
Develop legislative and regulatory proposals on behalf of the company
Practice effective public relations strategies
Maintain positive relationships with legislature
Lobbying of the legislature to advocate on behalf of legislation important to enhancing an organization in a strategic manner
Politicians use PR tactics to benefit themselves as they conduct daily activities and annual campaigns.
Promote and defend their service in office, with an eye toward the next election
Practitioners are responsible for leading the way in shaping these carefully worded messages as they coordinate speaking engagements; plan special events at nursing homes, churches, or daycare centers; write press releases; and ensure that the politician is on message each time.<br>
