Chapter 12:
1. What do you think of when you hear the term public relations? What images come to mind? Where did these impressions come from? When I hear the term public relations, it means to me that the public gets interactive in the community through the media. Some images or ideas that come to mind are people taking pictures and posting them on the Internet. The pictures would be photos about the community and there would be news reports from about the things that go on in the community. I imagine that there are people who are in charge of letting the public know about the organizations that want to let the community about them and to franchise about them. My impressions of public relation agencies came from just watching about these on the television.

3. What steps can reporters and editors take to monitor PR agents who manipulate the news media? Some steps that reporters and editors can monitor PR agents that they are not manipulating the news media, is that they can have the agents present what they would do in the news briefings and be able to understand how they want to present. Another step is by making sure that they present the facts and not any stuff that would ruin the organization. They editors can make that they are highly informative to make sure that the PR agents do not manipulate or take over the paper company or the magazine. I believe that the reporters and editors can make sure that PR agents do not manipulate the news media get taken over.
