sustained effort to establish and maintain mutual understanding

between an organization and its publics.”

“Management of communication

between an organization and its

publics” (Grunig and Hunt, 1984).

“public relations is concern with or

devoted to create mutual

understanding among groups and

institutions.”

Communication is abstract and

like other words,

The goal of communication is to inform, persuade,

motivate, and achieve mutual understanding

between the sender and the target

receiver.

Communication is the activity of conveying information.

PUBLIC RELATIONS TO PUBLIC

ADMINISTRATION

The underlying principle of public administration is

management in the public sphere similar

role in the private sector.

The characteristic that differentiates

the public and private sectors is the

role and power of media and the importance of

external communication as an

element of management.

For the business sector, cooperating with the news media and engaging in external communications is a choice.

For public administrators it is a requirement.

Freedom of the press and freedom of information

laws require civil servants to be accountable to the media and the public-at-

large and must be transparent unlike in

private sectors. (Fairbanks, Plowman, & Rawlins,

2007; Liu & Horsley, 2007; Roberts, 2006; Graber, 2003).

According to Peters (2009, Journal of Public Affairs Education - JPAE)

MPA students must have public relations training,

focused on strategic communications

(Raphael and Nesbary, 2005), one of three civic skills that public managers needed

(Kirlin, 2005)

Klingner and Washington (2000)

identified “the need to find ways to influence public

policy decisions” as part of a global

approach to public administration

training

Aristigueta (1997) emphasized the importance of interpersonal

communication skills, which

encompasses, of course, external communications
