Media relations include ongoing activities to ensure the organization has a strong public image. Public relations activities include helping the public to understand the organization and its products. Similar to effective advertising and promotions, effective public relations often depends on designing and implementing a well-designed public relations plan. The plan often includes description of what you want to convey to whom, how you plan to convey it, who is responsible for various activities and by when, and how much money is budgeted to fund these activities. Similar to advertising and promotions, a media plan and calendar can be very useful, which specifies what media methods that are used and when.
EXAMPLE:-
Two movies about Wal-Mart have hit the national scene – one positive and one negative – and the media have continued to boost the negative one. “Why Wal-Mart Works, and Why That Makes Some People Crazy” by Ron Galloway is a documentary that discusses the benefits and efficiency of Wal-Mart. The film “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price” by Robert Greenwald
does the opposite, alleging negative effects and abusive practices.
does the opposite, alleging negative effects and abusive practices.
“Why Wal-Mart Works” hasn’t received nearly as much attention in print and broadcast media. A Business & Media Institute analysis of print coverage in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and the Los Angeles Times since June 1 found no articles or movie reviews in print devoted to the positive film, while the negative film had 11 articles, six mentions in the new DVD and movie section, and two movie reviews.one of the covering problems what wal-mart faced was “The High Cost of Low Price.”
“The High Cost of Low Price” focused on H & H Hardware in northern Ohio. New York Times columnist John Tierney on November 26 described the documentary’s depiction of the “anguished owner” who “needs a loan to survive, but complains that the bank has refused him because Wal-Mart's pending arrival has depressed the value of his property.” Then “bulldozers in action” followed, with “mournful twangs of a guitar” as the hardware store went out of business.
