公共关系
美国的缔造者们撰定, 独立宣言, 之时就指出,要, 体面尊重,
各地人民的意见,那时宣布独立的州一定要让全世界都知道,他
们为个么要把自已从英国的桎梏中解放出来。那时,美国的领导
者相信,只能因赢得各国人民的信任,事业才能成功。
同样,公关工作也要设法赢行人们的信任和好感。没有关注人
们对它的看法的话,任何公司、政府部门、学校、医院或其他单
位都不能兴旺发达。公关工作就是向企业或其他组织提供信息,
使自已的行为可能给公众舆论造成怎样的影响 —或公众舆论对其
行为可能产生怎样的影响。公关人员的职责还需将公司的活动,
计划或想法告诉公众。这点之所以必要,是因为人们对一个公司
有所了解才会对它更为信任。

假如一个公司想要生存和发展,必须考虑的不只是一个大范围
内公从的意见。只有像国家机关,这些少数机构如此庞大,全
体公众才会对它们的行为形成一定看法。大多数公司和机构得
考虑较小群体的意见 —比如,它们的主顾、员工或投股人的意
见。一个公司还必须得到它的工厂和办事处民在地的左邻右舍
的信任和好感。它还得与政府友好相处,国为每个企业都会受
到政府法令和法规的极大影响。
要使别人相信自已,首先要考虑他人的信仰、利益和感情。
公关工作以尊重他人的权利和信仰为出发点来计划自已的行动。
如果公关计划没有考虑到这些方面,该计划对公司不会有帮助。
如果一个公司实际上对他人满不在乎的话,哪怕世界上再多的
钱,再有能耐的作家或演说家都无法使这家公司建立起关心他
人的形象。因此,大多数公司都会考虑采取任何一个行动时将

会对公众的看法有什么影响,比如迁新址或收购另一个企业。公司一
旦做出决定,就要让每一个人都了解这一决定和做出这一决定的理由。
大多数的公司都有公关部,它将公司计划和活动告诉公众。这一部
门是由作家、编辑、摄影和绘画专家以及研究人员组成。
向外公布公司的活动和特色有许多办法。其中一个非常有效的办法
就是通过公司的高级职员在当地的商会和各种俱乐部等机构中发表演
讲。这些演讲通常在报纸上报导,并常常印发给政府官员、教育行政
官员、记者和其他一些对公司观点感兴趣的人。各种印刷的小册子,
包括公司的杂志和发给投股人的年度管理报告,也有助于让公众知道
有关公司的信息。电影常用来向人们展示公司的一些情况。一个公司
也可能承担一些与其业务没有直接关系的项目,作为对公众的服务,
以便更好地造福于社会。

许多公司除了使用自已的公关人员外,还雇用独立的公关公司,
这种公司同时为多个客户服务。由于当局者迷,本公司的人可
能忽视某些动向和问题,而受过专门训练的独立公关公司的人
员却常常能看到。 任何一个有意从事公关工作的人应该尽可
能接受广泛的教育。除了大学教育,若能有在某传媒领域的工
作经历,如电台或报社,那对未来的公关工作是大有帮助的。
