Because PR agencies are often involved
in dramatic situations—crisis management is one example—the activities they are involved in can make good material
for Hollywood films. Choose
one of the following movies:
Erin
Brockovich
Making
Mr. Right
Dave
A
Civil Action
Wag
the Dog
Goodbye,
Lover
Watch the film and note specific examples
of PR activities. Then, answer the following questions:
- Which
film did you choose?
- How
is the practice of PR portrayed?
- Is
the label “public relations” ever specifically applied to the PR activities depicted?
- How
are we, the movie audience, made to feel about PR as an activity? . . . as a
profession?
