In the 21st century, the practice of “public relations” is nothing more than a modern euphemism for propaganda. Discuss. This essay aims to elaborate on the question if PR can be understood as a modern euphemism for propaganda. You make a good effort to define PR and explore this from many different angles but the essay fails to engage with academic material on a deep enough level. Moreover, it fails to address and answer the essay question and therefore does not identify and discuss relevant issues. The reader does not get a good sense of what propaganda is and why it is often confused with PR The term propaganda is not developed or problematised in this essay Neither are the academic or practical issues at stake here. The essay also contains a lot of tangential material (see my in-text comments and it is not clear what you mean with organisational propaganda strategy. overall this essay fails to meet postgraduate standard the essay question is not addressed and elaborated.''
