The 30-word definition reads: Public relations is a decision-making management practice tasked with building relationships and interests between organisations and their publics based on the delivery of information through trusted and ethical communication methods.

Chair of the group charged with formulating this definition, and IPRA Board member, Alain Grossbard explains; “First we wanted to have a short definition that said: What is PR? Why do we do it? And how do we do it? Then, conscious of our heritage based on the IPRA code, and of a world today imperiled with fake news, we wanted to say something more. This is how IPRA members do PR and how we think the world should do PR. That is PR based on trust and ethics.”

Svetlana Stavreva, IPRA President continues: “Is this the last word? Experience tells us otherwise. Practitioners and academics have been defining PR for decades. Seminars have been dedicated to it. IPRA humbly offers our definition as we see it today. All feedback is welcome.”

The definition was adopted by the IPRA Board at its recent meeting in Yerevan, Armenia.

Chile 2015: What Happens To The World When Eagles Flock

Uduak Umo Eagles don’t flock. But not Emmanuel Amuneke’s boys at the FIFA Under 17 World Cup holding at Chile. These ones field one of the youngest squads; play with a deadly combination of energy, appetite and intellect. With the sharpest attack edge in the tournament, the most painstaking midfield, an amazingly brave and athletic goalie, a shaky defence unit notwithstanding, this Nigerian Golden Eaglets prove the danger when Eagles flock. Announcing Prospect Soccer is like a religion in Nigeria. And it wouldn’t be out of place to say that the English Premier league only began to gain significant followership in Nigeria when Nigerians ran out of patience for the national teams and local clubs following decay in the administration of the game in the country.
