OK, Dan, you’ve touched on a pet peeve of mine: blurring the distinction between publicity and public relations. PR practitioners may, from time to time, employ media relations as a tactical measure in campaigns. But for publicists, media relations and marketing is just about the sum total of all they understand or care to understand.
Here’s my grad school formulated definition for public relations:
Public relations is the systematic study and strategic design of organizational identity and behavior in relation to all else, human or otherwise.
Uuuh, the wise men didn’t go to the stables in Bethlehem. They went to “Mary’s house” there, and apparently about two years after the birth. (Though the Gospel of John has some Pharisees scoffing at any idea that Jesus was the messiah, because he wasn’t born in Bethlehem. I guess you pays your money and takes your choice.)
