Origin of the word public relations

The term "public relations" (PR) was first coined in 1837 by Ivy Lee, a prominent press agent. Lee was hired by mining magnate, John D. Rockefeller, to manage negative publicity arising from accusations of monopolistic practices. Lee realized that managing public perception was as vital as managing business operations, and proposed a new term, "public relations," to describe this function. His approach involved being transparent, proactive, and communicating with the public in a concise and honest manner. The term and philosophy quickly caught on in the business world, as organizations recognized the value of proactively managing their reputation and relationship with the public.
