INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
1.0 Introduction
Public relation is the management function that establishes and maintains mutually beneficial relationship between an organization and the public on whom its success or failure depends (Center and Jackson, 2005). Public relation is primarily about image and every organization has a role in communicating to the public with which they relate. The positive and negative things seen and heard at every level of the organization affects people perception of the organization as perception is reality for most people. The familiarity and reputation of its name are two of the greatest asset of any product or organization. An organization’s image is based on the character, integrity and total performance of the organization. It consists of every contact the organization has and its various public. It is composite of the organizations history on dealing with people, internal attitude towards members, external attitude towards community responsibility and involvement and news releases and other dealings with media, internal and external publications and institutional advertising.
