“Public Relations” and Human Rights Kali Hunter

Public Relations  Public Relations  Activities that promote a favorable relationship between a company and its customers; used to influence the press to promote a favorable image of a company & its products/services  Build goodwill with a company's various publics (consumers, employees, government officials, stockholders, suppliers)  a promotion intended to create goodwill for a person or institution  Commonly associated with the private sector – other areas?  Entertainment, state & federal government, social issues, non-profit organizations, and yes, human rights…

TRUST?  The public considers “PR people” spin doctors that are the opposite of trustful or truthful resources. We distract, interrupt, bait or persuade, anything but trustworthy professionals.  But PR people are only as successful as they are trustworthy…  Reporters, clients, communication channels, gatekeepers  Is this public perception really a case of “shooting the messenger”?  Maybe a misunderstanding of what PR people do…

Public Relations Strategic Communication  Public relations is more then creating a favorable image  Generating news coverage – telling public what’s out there  Connecting with interested and/or effected audiences  Promotion of social issues while increasing bottom line (CSR)  Public relations is getting some public relations  Strategic Communication (2008)  Communicating a concept, process or data that satisfies a long- term strategic goal of an private or public organization, government or person.  Using techniques & technology

Technology and Techniques  Newspapers (media calls, pitching ideas, monitoring)  Radio (media calls, story submissions, monitoring)  TV (media calls, story submission/pitch, monitoring)  Magazines (story submission, monitoring) ENGAGEMENT – immediate two way communication  Internet (submit/monitor, engagement)  Mobile (direct channel, engagement – developing)  Social Media (engagement, monitoring, direct channel)  Ipad, Kindle, Nook (direct channel, engagement)

What does this have to do with HUMAN RIGHTS?  Campaigns and advocacy – more of a role in campaigning  Strategic communication has a direct relationship with specific human rights issues AND the organizations that research, promote and advocate on behalf of those issues.  Specific Human Rights*  Generating awareness, engagement, grassroots efforts, donations  Organizations (Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch)  Generating awareness, maintaining public image and authority (i.e. genocide example), donations, relationship with governments and necessary officials

Going forward…  Breakthrough  Social Media  How social media is currently being used  Possible concerns with using social media  The future

Concerns about Social Media & Human Rights  Open to everyone, scope, cheap, effective – used by terrorists and others, the people/governments/organizations who are violating human rights  User generated content increases the viral abilities of the internet, especially on social media platforms  Examples:  “Death to Gays” Facebook page in Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia  “Based on the facts, there was no Holocaust” note  “Romanians out of Italy” Facebook pages in 2008  Burning the Koran YouTube video  “Dark Cincinnati” Blog highlight African American crimes  “Support Bin Laden” Facebook page

The Future  Still getting people to “buy into” the idea of social media and other technology driven tactics to promote and advocate for human rights nationally and internationally  New Tactics in Human Rights   Forum for education and information – discussion among human rights professionals to get ideas, share experiences and talk about the effectiveness  LEARN – BUILD – SHARE
