ILLEGITIMATE PR. “I think the history of public relations is a primarily illegitimate one. Most of it is about packaging reality to benefit powerful clients. If one is accurately telling the history, there are certain moments when businesses feel that their interests are so threatened, where some of what they do in the name of PR is actual policy.” (Stuart Ewen).
