Publicity

Publicity is the deliberate attempt to manage the public's perception of a subject. The subjects of publicity include people (for example, politicians and performing artists), goods and services, organizations of all kinds.

Publicity is typically generated from an organization's public relations department and its goal is to gain media coverage.

Publicity involves supplying information that is factual, interesting, and newsworthy to media not controlled by you, such as radio, television, magazines, newspapers, and trade journals

A publicity plan is a planned program aimed at obtaining favorable media coverage for an organization's products - or for the organization itself, to enhance its reputation and relationships with stakeholders. Publicity tools includes Press release, Speeches, Seminars, Annual Report, Sponsorship, Company magazine, etc

The most successful publicity releases are related to topics of current interest. These are referred to as news pegs.

Publicity is the end result and one factor of a public relations campaign or strategy.

Examples of this include:


Art exhibitions, Event sponsorship, Arrange a speech or talk, Issue a report, Take a stand on a controversial subject, Announce an appointment, Celebrate an anniversary, Invent then present an award.

The advantages of publicity are low cost, and credibility (particularly if the publicity is aired in between news stories like on evening TV news casts). The disadvantages are lack of control over how your releases will be used, and frustration over the low percentage of releases that are taken up by the media.

Public relations professionals consider "PR" to be more of a long term and ongoing effort. Publicity is often more of a "one shot deal." - It is an attempt to secure positive news coverage or word-of-mouth.
