PR VS Advertising

As always known, advertising controls the message while PR never does and this is the sole reason why Press Release creates credibility. Most times that readers see or read an advertisement and they tend to believe that, what they are reading is just overblown hype or mostly lies with a lot of truth in fine print. Most readers usually trust independent authorities or professionals such as writers, reviewers, columnists, reporters or broadcasters with their opinions regarding a service, product or a company. Without any doubt, it is the same said authorities who are directly influenced by good public relations and to be more specific, a well-written and presented press release.
