Techniques of work with the public
Communication is the core of Public Relations!

- It must explain:What is valued?What is at risk?

What is a message?
A MESSAGE SHOULD BE SHORT, SIMPLE AND
REPEATED TO BE HEARD!
SOCIAL COHESION INITIATIVE
What is a message?
Rule 1: Have one main message with up to three underlying themes to support it. Rule 2: All messages should support the organisation’s main goals. Rule 3: Messages are not necessarily sound bites; they are the ideas you are trying to communicate to the public. Rule 4: Messages don’t change frequently.

Rule 5: Messages can be tailored for specific audiences, while still remaining constant. Rule 6: Consistent messages should permeate all of your communications efforts, not just contact with the media. Rule 7: Messages must be simple. Rule 8: Remember: messages take time to create. Don’t rush the process.
