Abstract

Public relations is a deliberate act of creating and sustaining goodwill, two-way communication and mutual understanding between an organization and various publics. The technology determinism theory and agenda setting theory served as the theoretical foundation of the study. Using library research, the study revealed that the use of the Internet in public relations practices has numerous challenges militating against its effectiveness. The study concluded that the tremendous speed at which information is transmitted and assimilated in the Internet possess a challenge that demands absolute commitment from the PR man to be on top of the situation at all times. It was recommended that public relations practitioners should embrace, adapt and train themselves in the use of the Internet in public relations practices in other to be one step ahead in the field of image making and public relations.
