1. A new compass …
… a key aim of public relations is to achieve or resist change by persuasively advancing and potentially privileging particular meanings and actions
(Leitch & Motion, 2010)
![Page 9: Pr and disruptive society lcc july 2013 copy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052623/5598ac031a28abbf3f8b4720/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. A new compass …
• research domain: consequences, not only effectiveness
• key goal: to answer how PR work and what it does in, to, and for organizations, and the society as a whole
![Page 10: Pr and disruptive society lcc july 2013 copy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052623/5598ac031a28abbf3f8b4720/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2. … a new focus on context …
diagnosis of society and remedies…
… a need to engage with social theory in a broader and deeper sense
![Page 11: Pr and disruptive society lcc july 2013 copy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052623/5598ac031a28abbf3f8b4720/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. … a new focus on context …
[A]n organization may be seen as located within one or several fields, in which they compete to position themselves in the social order. The actors seek to get their issues discussed, defined, and settled [with the help of public relations]
(Ihlen, 2009)
