The Institute for Public Relations, PRSA, and the University of Maryland hosted the PRSA International Conference on 10/17/10 in Washington DC. At this conference the Third Annual Grunig Lecture was given by, yes, Drs. Jim and Lauri Grunig and entitled: “Public Relations Excellence 2010.”
As many of you know, Jim and Lauri Grunig are developers of the Excellence Study and its principles for excellent PR, which they explain and elaborate on in this lecture. They are strong proponents of relationships as the foundation of public relations, and have developed techniques to measure relationships as a way to measure the effectiveness of public relationships. (Their work forms the foundation of much of Katie Paine's book Measuring Public Relationships, and also her new book due out next spring from Wiley Press Measure What Matters.)
