Public relations

Public relations (PR) is the practice of deliberately managing the release and spread of information between an individual or an organization and the public in order to affect the public views.[1]

In a narrow sense, it is a systematic activity of the company aimed at changing the beliefs, attitudes, opinions and behavior of different groups of people (target audience) about the company, its products, services and specific problems, ideas and actions. The public relations professional must know how to effectively address those concerns using the most powerful tool of the public relations trade, which is publicity.[2]
