INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM AND CONSEQUENCES

INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM Investigative journalism is when reporters deeply investigate a topic of interest, often involving crime, political corruption or some other scandal.

NEWCOMB'S SYMMETRY THEORY

NEWCOMB’S SYMMETRY THEORY Social psychologist Theodore M. Newcomb took Heider's idea of balance out of the head of one person and applied it to communication between people. He uses the term symme¬try to distinguish it from balance theory and contends that we attempt to influence one another to bring about symmetry (or balance or equilibrium). Newcomb postulates that attempts to influence another person are a function of the attraction one person has for another. In this respect Newcomb's theory is more of a theory of interpersonal attraction than one of attitude change. If we fail to achieve symme¬try through communication with another person about an object important to both of us, we may then change our attitude toward either the other person or the object in question in order to establish symmetry. Because Newcomb's model deals with two people and the communication between them, he labels them A and B (rather than Heider's P and O) and retains X to represent the obj...

THE PRACTICE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS IN DEVELOPED WORLD AND PAKISTAN

After passing through the various phases and stages of its development public relations has now grown into a separate activity both in the developed and developing world. However, like other areas of human activity public relations discipline is comparatively more mature in the developed countries. In developing countries, Pakistan especially in the private sector, public relations concepts and practices are not yet clear and the PR techniques are usually abused or gaining short-time or immediate benefits. PR in most of the developing countries is carried on borrowed ideologies and the process is generally devoid of research and any logical planning. That is why PR in the developing countries often fails to give results and generally it assumes the form of press agentry aimed at pleasing the top management. PR staff often tries to block the media from ascertaining the facts or truth about the organization. Most of the organization in the Third World don’t have any public relations de...
