Summary Public Relations has largely shifted to online

o Especially for organizations and in areas where media is fractured or weak

o Content must be developed without reporterso Conversations are directed to target audience (the

mass market is too wide and not affordable)o New technology is key to efficient distribution to

more targeted decision makerso Public perceptions, community awareness and

media influence is done directly to the recipients
