Abstract

This project used a content analysis to examine the portrayal of public relations on television. The study specifically focused on the reality television show, The Spin Crowd, but also used What I Like About You, Sex and the City, and PoweR Girls to support the findings. The study found that public relations is falsely portrayed on television, which adds to the misconceptions about the profession.
