Information and Public Relations

Media has become an effective and dangerous weapon upon which the whole globalized world now depends in peace and war. The importance of media increases as long as methods of life, civilization and civil life progress and develop. Media has the power of magic and power of influence in public opinion. It can transform the image of untruth to look attractive yet can distort the truth and skew our perception of reality.

    Public relations are described by communication scientists as the engineering of consent and employment portal at any institution. It is one of the most important administrations of the university. Among its functions is to introduce the university to the public opinion as an academic institution of a distinguished mission and an objective role in the community at home and abroad.
