Abstract
In the field of comunication sciences, Public Relations constitute a very complex set of activities that are institutionalized under this denomination. So, I am speaking of the communciative conception of them. My feeling is that the theoretical research on it is, unfortunately, limited, and often with a dominant pragmatic and professional approach. We have to accept that practically speaking they are very important, but the degree of knowledge of the researchers on communication sciences and of the citizens is rather limited. Often they are assimilated or confused with the advertising, when, in fact, in this communicative field, they are nearer to the information as news, with all their implications. We cannot forget that their objective is the creation of a positive image and its aim and technique of persuasion is also an evident element.
Resumen
Principio del formulario
En el campo de las ciencias de la comunicación, las relaciones públicas constituyen un conjunto muy complejo de actividades que se han institucionalizado en esta denominación. Por lo tanto, estoy hablando de la concepción comunicativa de esa disciplina. Mi sensación es que la investigación teórica sobre el mismo es, por desgracia, limitada, ya menudo con un enfoque dominante pragmático y profesional. Tenemos que aceptar que los aspectos prácticos son muy importantes, pero el grado de conocimiento de los investigadores en ciencias de la comunicación y de los ciudadanos es bastante limitado. A menudo son asimilados o se confunden con la publicidad, cuando, de hecho, en este ámbito comunicativo, que están más cerca de la información como noticias, con todas sus consecuencias. No podemos olvidar que su objetivo es la creación de una imagen positiva y su objetivo y la técnica de la persuasión es también un elemento evidente.
