What is Public Relations?

“Public relations is a strategic

communication process that builds

mutually beneficial relationships

between organizations and their

publics.”

Examples of Publics

Anyone who can have an opinion about your

organization:

Movie goers

Other non-profits

Businesses in your area

Board members

Elected officials

Groups that use your space

Film community

Journalists

Staff / volunteers and their

families

Universities / schools

Vendors / suppliers

City employees / county

employees

Neighborhood councils

Public Relations is

everything you do and

everything you say.

… in relation to each one of your publics.

Set Goals

What do you want each group to

know about you and / or do?

Don’t use a blanket approach; set

a goal for each group on its own.

• Determine (or measure) where you

are now in relation to each goal.

• Set a date in the future to measure

again.

• Implement your plan.

• When the date comes, see if you

improved.

• Revise your goal or set a new one.

Keep Repeating this Circular Process:

Remember This:

You are in charge of your

organization’s

reputation and you can be a leader in

improving it.
