The Practice of public relations should be natured

Hello! fellow bloggers I hope you still doing good. Am here to introduce you to my new post (the practice of PR should be natured)a good one to start a weekend. DONT MISS OUT! lets have fun and get inspired.

Throughout the years the practice of PR has played a major role in staging issues of  global importance  to the world. The art has allowed organizations and people in generating support along with the creating towards them.

Think of the advances made in the field of PR which will not only contribute to a more functional global society, but it will also help in policing this world society. Public relations serves as a loud speaker of the world that is also your role as an upcoming PR actioner. You don't have to sit back and watch but hello! we have to stand out and act.

Looking at the Nigerian abduction issue and the whole lot of issues PR actioners has tool centre stage in blowing the trumpet and making people aware of the full impact on these happenings. The role of PR has raised millions and made them aware of what is really happing in the world.

Lets at  look some of the tips the PR role used  to manage the bring back our girls crisis.

DO YOU HAVE POWER?
This involves taking action in unusually events, damage like the Nigerian missing girls. What PRP fear most is the failure to communicate when things are this way. Did they had a choice? ofcos no they didn't. Their role was to make sure they communicate with the people regardless of the environment state . They made sure they have a back up plan and have access to the internet.

HANDLING THE MEDIA REQUEST
The PRP were fully trained to respond to the media in time. immediately they heard out the missing girls they informed the media. Thou they didn't have all the answers, they never ignored the media but they told the media that "we are still working on gathering the information ".

 BE WILLING TO HELP IN GOOD  AND BAD TIMES.
They gave their best in helping Nigeria to spread a word to the world. It was a very bad time for Nigeria but one thing I love about the PRP is the support they were giving.

FINALLY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, IF ITS YOURS TO TAKE
They took it as theirs in order to make communication very effective in all the world. Thou it was too much attached with emotions the strive to do the job to its fullest. Here we clearly see how the role of the PR has influenced the president to full commit in rescuing the girls.

Memoirs from the bring back our girls campaign







The spirit of oneness 'UBUNTU "can make a huge difference in the world.
Release the girls that's what we plead for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag06Xk3r49A

As we are all aware of the kidnapping of the Nigerian girls, for more information open the following link.http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/the-bring-back-our-girls-campaign-is-working-boko-haram-should-be-scared-of-a-hashtag-9360830.html
The practice of public relations has been used in supporting the initiative for the bring back our girls campaign. Different media platforms such as: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and also the traditional media such as television have been used by corporations , government and concerned people alike all around the world. This was the aim of rallying support for the campaign. As we have seen people carrying flags as well as posters with comforting messages on them showing sympathy and hope that the girls will be found.www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-ZCJjnxVVg

A clear example of how the PR practice has been used to promote the endeavour would be of how the South African Broadcast Corporation through  its blog, posted articles that showed activities of the general campaign and how it has been received by the world society and the current state of the overall situation.

Mass protests around the world were organised by lobby groups with the intent of getting their respective governments to release statements expressing their positions in the matter and the actions they plan to carry out with regard to the matter . This clearly shows that women rights are being violated and our girls are no longer safe in schools. We have the right to be protected and not harmed.

Picture of Alicia keys depicting how celebrated figures made use of their influence to promote the campaign. Celebrities made use of this occasion to exercise their corporate social responsibility.


 
What is your own opinion about how PR was used to the reach out to the people?
Do you think people were made aware of the missing girls?
