1. Interdependence of PR and mass media

The purpose of PR is to inform, shape opinions and motivate- it can be accomplished only if people receive messages constantly through media. The media are the multipliers that enable millions of people to receive a message at the same time. On the other hand, it would not be too extreme to state that, without the contribution of tens of thousands of PR communicators, media would not nearly as well-informed as they are.

Reporters and PR people are mutually dependent upon each other for accomplishing their goals.

No newspaper, nor any magazine, wire service, or broadcasting station or network can afford to have experts in all spheres of human activities. Even the largest media rely upon

the PR persons representing companies and institutions to provide the expertise and explanation that enable journalists to write understandably about complex subjects.

PR practitioners provide a necessary link between the media and many specialized areas of activity in our society, they provide most of the information used in the media today. Today’s reporters and editors spend most of their time processing information, not gathering it, 38% of journalists said they get at least half of their story ideas from PR people.

PR people are also responsible for presenting their companies and institutions, journalists over a period of time come to know which PR people can be trusted. Thus, mutually honest and beneficial relationships are developed.
