Public relations is the deliberate and strategic management of relationships between an organization and its key public. In other words, it’s all about communication.

There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary. – Brendan Behan
Little Drunk Girl
When Bernays first started writing about Public Relations, he referred to it as an ‘applied social science’. At the time (around 1920), the concept of social psychology was gaining popularity. And, thanks to his double uncle, the public was starting to accept the idea of psychology more and more. Bernays viewed PR as a way of understanding the attitudes and behaviors of crowds and how to change them. Back then, communication was just one of the ways to achieve that.
