Public Relationsbecame a profession in 1903 as Ivy Lee undertook to advise John D. Rockefelleron how to conduct his public relations. Rockefeller owned coal mines and thePennsylvania Railroad. Miners were on strike and the railroad hushed up the factswhen its trains were involved with accidents. Lee advised Rockefeller to visit thecoal mines and talk to the miners. Rockefeller spent time listening to thecomplaints of the miners, improved their conditions, danced with their wives, andbecame a hero to the miners. Here evolved the concept of Public Relationindirectly.MEANING- Public isa group of similar Individuals, an assortment ofpersons having the same interests, problems, circumstances &goals.
