conducting real-life public relations nowadays. Theoretically‚ several models have been developed to categorize the different types of PR practice/practitioners; analyzing the usage of these models by PR professionals will reveal the extent to which they are valid in real life. Because these models deal with the communication-flow involved in PR‚ the essay will begin with a basic outline of how human communication works and how it can be applied effectively‚ using theory from Stappers (1988)
