The interrelationship between journalism and public relations (PR)
is one of the most contentious in the field of media studies.
Numerous studies have shown that 50-80 per cent of the content of
mass media is significantly shaped by PR. But many editors,
journalists, and PR practitioners engage in a 'discourse of
denial', maintaining what critics call the dirty secret of
journalism - and PR. Media practitioners also engage in an
accusatory 'discourse of spin' and a 'discourse of victimhood'. On
the other hand, PR practitioners say they help provide a voice for
organizations, including those ignored by the media. Meanwhile, the
growth of social media is providing new opportunities for
governments, corporations, and organizations to create content and
even their own media, increasing the channels and reach of PR. This
book reviews 100 years of research into the interrelationship
between journalism and PR and, based on in-depth interviews with
senior editors, journalists, and PR practitioners in several
countries, presents new insights into the methods and extent of PR
influence, its implications, and the need for transparency and
change, making it a must-read for researchers and students in media
studies, journalism, public relations, politics, sociology, and
cultural studies.
