Public relations (PR) is the practice of managing the flow of information between an organization and its publics. Public relations provides an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that do not require direct payment. The aim is often to persuade the public, investors, partners, employees and other stakeholders to maintain a certain point of view about the company, its leadership, products or of political decisions. Common activities include speaking at conferences, winning industry awards, working with the press, and employee communication.
The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), founded by Richard Rotman, defined public relations in 1982 as, "Public relations helps an organization and its publics adapt mutually to each other." According to the PRSA, the essential functions of public relations include research, planning, communication, dialogue and evaluation. In 2011/2012 the Society developed a crowd sourced definition which PRSA considers more accurate and descriptive:

Spoken:
I was born on an island
The island of Manhatten
Dreamt all my life of a career on the
Great White way
Producer Norman Paperman
Director Norman Paperman
And I made it!
In sort of an off the wall way I found my
Calling-Listen
Singing:
Up every morning, out every evening
Hustling for headlines, that's what I do
Table at Sardi's, grappling for gossip
Working the press for a mention or two
[Paperman Cont.] I never acted like some nervous rookie
Right form the start I was hot as a cookie
I was a numero uno
What a debut
Chorus:
Public Relations, Public Relations
Boozing and schmoozing, that's what I do
PR's my vocation
And I'm a sensation
Public relations
Such hullabaloo
But I went full throttle
Never could slow down
Then out of nowhere a mild heart attack
Middle age crisis
Face the big questions
Had to get off of this foolish fast track
It all started out
As an add in the paper
Now it's turned into
A tropical caper
But it's only public relations
And thats what I do
Chorus:
Public Relations, Public Relations
Ego inflation, that's what I do
Isn't it wonderful, isn't it fabulou
Public Relations, such hullabaloo
Iris:
Give this some thought Norman
Things can get sticky
Here in the tropics
Wine turns to glue
Norman:
I've never seen such a beauitful ocean
Iris:
Holy sweet Jeues, he's got no clue
Norman:
I'll buy this place
I am expatriating
Iris:
You as a landlord
Sounds intoxicating
Both:
It's only Public Relations
Who's screwing who
Chorus:
No, not that old PR
Of the yacking and quacking
Making folks happy
That's what I'll do
Sun shine and sea air
Palm trees, martinis
That's what I yearn for--like you, you, and you
Just give me some time
And I'll make it come true!
Reporters:
Here she is, Miss Marilyn Monroe!
Will she have the answers that our readers want to know?
Indian Reporter:
From India!
Parisian Reporter:
And Paris!
British Reporter:
And from just across the pond!
Reporters:
We have so many questions for America's smart dumb blonde!
Marilyn:
Here I am!
I dropped in from the sky
For Look and Life and all the boys from Peek and U.P.I.
Reporters:
Please let us peek behind closed doors...
German Reporter:
Where no one is allowed!
Marilyn:
Well, I'm pretty good in private
But the truth is I'm better in a crowd!
I relate to men of so many nations
But public relations are my favorite kind
Reporters:
You're the story that we're glad we're assigned!
Marilyn:
Dealing with one man can lead to frustrations
But public relations I have never declined
Reporters:
'Cause we're the guys who'll never leave ya behind!
Marilyn:
A bunch of men with pad and pen is a way to have some fun
But, ladies, listen to me, confidentially
Nothing ever beats a one-on-one!
Still, you have come to me for sex in quotations
So I'll use public relations to give you a peace of my mind
Reporters:
Gimme, gimme, a piece of your mind!
'Cause the answer to a question is the way you're defined, like:
Reporter #1:
What do you sleep in?
Marilyn:
Well, I adore Chanel No. 5, and not much more
Reporter #1:
Any advice for a girl in the city?
Marilyn:
If you're two-faced at least make one of them pretty
Reporter #1:
The studio says "lateness is your favorite crime"
Marilyn:
True, I've been on a calendar, but never on time
Reporter #1:
When you posed nude, your inhibitions were gone?
Marilyn:
Well, that's not quite true, I kept the radio on!
Reporters
Yes, to chase the blues
Boys, I chase the newsboys!
Fame has plenty of perks!
Marilyn:
When your life's a mess, call the foreign press!
Reporter #1:
Be they:
Indian Reporter:
Indian!
Parisian Reporter:
Parisian!
British Reporter:
British!
German Reporter:
German!
Turk Reporter:
Or Turks!
Reporters:
Yeah!
Marilyn:
I am glad you crave my best conjugations
Yes, public relations is my favorite sound
'Cause when I'm alone I can pick up the phone
'Cause the fourth estate is always around!
Reporters:
