Thesis (MTech (Public Relations Management))--Cape Technikon, 2004 / The role of public relations as a management function is currently under discussion among public relations practitioners in South Africa. PRISA - the Institute for Public Relations and Communication Management (Southern Africa) has also immersed itself in this discussion and is actively involved in a number of activities aiming at repositioning public relations as a strategic management function. This discussion is the latest development in a discourse on the role of public relations spanning a number of decades, and is a logical outcome of an evolution of the understanding of the contribution that public relations makes to the success of organisations. The discussion, however, has several dimensions - the role of pUblic relations in regard to marketing; the contribution that public relations makes to integrated marketing communication; and the role of public relations as a management function on the top level of the organisation. Clarity about, and an understanding of, the role of public relations in the organisation is therefore crucial to the practical implementation of "new" thinking on public relations. Literature - especially in the sphere of public relations - seeks to give theoretical manifestation to a relatively young discipline seeking to carve its own niche in the organisational sphere of operation. While a number of authors agree on the valuable contribution that public relations can make to the organisation's strategic success, some measure of confusion seems to exist regarding the precise relationship between public relations and other functional departments within the organisation, most notably marketing and marketing communication.

There is lack of a strategic body of literature and books of the practice of public relations (PR) in Uganda. This prohibits the public relations practitioners to participate in African and disadvantages the PR practitioners in terms of participating in African and global debates about their discipline. The lack of knowledge in PR has an impact on the way practitioners carry out their duties in an organisation and it also has an impact on the way top management views practitioners. This treatise focuses on PR practitioners in Kampala, Uganda. The research focused on global literature on what roles practitioners carried out in the rest of the world, and this was then compared with the roles of Ugandan practitioners The research discusses current literature in the field of roles research and empirically analyses the role of technician, manager and strategist in Uganda. The data was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire mainly through email and door-to-door distribution of questionnaires and lastly through telephone interviews. The research was conducted in the Kampala District. The majority of the practitioners in Uganda currently do not fulfill the roles of technician, manager and strategic role.

This study explores the status of public relations in the fledgling democratic Russian Federation. The purpose was to determine: whether public relations practitioners in Russia practice Grunig and Hunt's (1984) press agentry, public information, two-way asymmetrical, and two-way symmetrical models of public relations; how public relations has contributed to the political and economic transformation in Russia; and how the former communist propaganda has affected contemporary public relations. Telephone interviews were conducted with 10 Russian public relations practitioners. The findings revealed that the 4 models of public relations are practiced in Russia; communist propaganda affected contemporary public relations; and, the field of public relations contributed to the political and economic transformation. This study adds a Russian perspective to the global theory of public relations and provides practical implications for public relations practitioners that could be the basis for further study concerning typical aspects of public relations in Russia.

On April 10, 2019, a global crisis began outside Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. A Boeing 737 Max 8 airplane owned and operated by Ethiopian Airline crashed in the desert killing all on board. The accident mimicked a six months old Lion Air flight 610 which happened in Indonesia and claimed the lives of all crew and passengers. Together, these accidents claimed the lives of 346 people and have been noted as one of the dark days in modern aviation history. Subsequently, the aviation world grounded all Boeing 737 Max aircrafts amid safety concerns. This brought severe public criticism to Boeing, America’s biggest manufacturing exporter, relative to the safety of its flagship airplane. Applying crisis communication theories such as Apologia, SCCT, and Image Restoration, the study finds that these strategies together with other public relations strategies could support public perception in favor of Boeing.
