Communication for millions of people around the world has been transformed by social media and other internet-based technologies. People in online communities engage in two-way conversations with many others in ways never previously possible. This has given them a new and powerful voice in personal and commercial environments. Public relations professionals are in the frontline of this communication revolution because they integrate the use of social media and other digital tools with more traditional communication techniques to reach target audiences more effectively. Such applications include news, stakeholder relations, marketing communication, consumer and community relations, issue management, and risk and crisis communication. PR practitioners also are using the techniques internally to help strengthen organisational culture, employee engagement and productivity. This unit equips students with the knowledge and skills to integrate social media and other internet-based techniques to achieve communication objectives.
