IV.6.2. Methods, tools and tactics
PR and publicity are not synonymous but many PR campaigns include provisions for publicity. Publicity is the spreading of information to gain public awareness for a product, person, service, cause or organization, and can be seen as a result of effective PR-planning.
IV.6.3. Public targeting
A fundamental technique used in PR is to identify the target audience, and to tailor every message to appeal to that audie-nce. It can be a general, nation-wide or worldwide audience, but it is more often a segment of a population. Marketers often refer to economy-driven “demogra-phics,” such as “black males 18-49,” but in PR an audience is more fluid, being whoever someone wants to reach. For example, recent political audiences include “soccer moms” and “NASCAR dads.” There is also a psychographic grouping based on fitness level, eating preferences, “adrenaline junkies,” etc…
In addition to audiences, there are usually stakeholders (посред-ники), literally people who have a “stake” in a given issue. All audiences are stakeholders (or presumptive stakeholders), but not all stakeholders are audiences. For example, a charity commissions a PR agency to create an advertising campaign to raise money to find a cure for a disease. The charity and the people with the disease are stakeholders, but the audience is anyone who is likely to donate money.
Sometimes the interests of differing audiences and stake-holders common to a PR effort necessitate the creation of several distinct but still complementary messages. This is not always easy to do, and sometimes – especially in politics – a spokesperson or client says something to one audience that angers another audience or group of stakeholders.
IV.6.4. Lobby groups
Lobby groups are established to influence government policy, corporate policy, or public opinion. An example of this is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, AIPAC, which influences American foreign policy. Such groups claim to represent a particular interest and in fact are dedicated to doing so. When a lobby group hides its true purpose and support base it is known as a front group. Moreover, governments may also lobby PR firms in order to sway public opinion. A well illustrated example of this is the way civil war in Yugoslavia was portrayed. Governments of newly succeeded republics of Croatia and Bosnia invested heavily with American PR firms, so that the PR firms would give them a positive war image in the US.
IV.6.5 Spin
In PR, “spin” is sometimes a pejorative (уничижительный) term signifying a heavily biased portrayal in one’s own favor of an event or situation. While traditional PR may also rely on creative presentation of the facts, “spin” often, though not always, implies disingenuous, deceptive and/or highly manipulative tactics. Politicians are often accused of spin by commentators and political opponents, when they produce a counter argument or position.
The techniques of “spin” include selectively presenting facts and quotes that support one’s position (cherry picking), the so-called “non-denial”, phrasing in a way that assumes unproven truths, euphemisms for drawing attention away from items considered distasteful, and ambiguity in public statements. Another spin technique involves careful choice of timing in the release of certain news so it can take advantage of prominent events in the news. A famous reference to this practice occurred when British Govern-ment press officer Jo Moore used the phrase It’s now a very good day to get out anything we want to bury, (widely paraphrased or misquoted as “It’s a good day to bury bad news”), in an email sent on September 11, 2001. The furor caused when this email was reported in the press eventually caused her to resign.
