Department of Advertising and Public Relations

Introduction

Advertising and public relations are communication tools that use a variety of media, including the traditional printed and broadcasting as well as the new on-line and social network channels.

Beginning as mere publicity, the practice of public relations has now matured into a management function that strives to strike a balance between organizations and their publics by managing the relationships in-between. Because of the rapid growth of both industries, the need for professionals equipped with scientific knowledge of advertising and public relations has dramatically exploded, suggesting a rosy future ahead. Going hand in hand with such bright prospects, the scope of advertising and public relations has expanded to find diverse applications in political and social issues, beyond the commercial marketplace.
