Read the text and do the exercises after it: Media Dependence on Public Relations
Public relations people work with the media in many ways. They have to know how to prepare for press interviews, organize a news conference, conduct a media tour, and write such materials as fact sheets, press kits, and op-ed articles.
We begin with a review of how reporters and public relations people are mutually dependent upon each other for accomplishing their respective goals. It should to be mentioned that there are areas of friction that often contribute to an adversarial atmosphere. An important part of the relationship is based on mutual trust and credibility. Public relations people must always provide accurate, timely, and comprehensive information. Only in this way can any medium do its job of informing readers, listeners, or viewers about matters of importance to them.
Public relations sources provide most of the information used in the media today. A number of research studies have substantiated this, including the finding that today's reporters and editors spend most of their time processing information, not gathering it.
1200 New York Times, Washington Post front pages were studied as far back as 1973 and it was found that 58,2 percent of the stories came through routine bureaucratic channels (official proceedings, news releases, and conferences or other planned events). Just 25.2 percent were the products of investigative journalism, and most of these were produced by interviews, the result of routine access to spokespersons. As the report said, “The reporter cannot depend on legwork alone to satisfy his paper's insatiable demand for news. He looks to official channels to provide him with newsworthy material day after day”.
A New York public relations firm, Jericho Promotions, sent questionnaires to 5,500 journalists worldwide and got 2,432 to respond. Of that number, 38 percent said they get at least half of their story ideas from public relations people. The percentage was higher among editors of lifestyle, entertainment, and health sections of newspapers but much lower among metropolitan reporters, who spent most of their time covering “hard” news.
In other words, public relations materials save media outlets the time, money, and effort of gathering their own news.
