This study examined the influence of social media on PR. Specifically, it examined the social media analytic tools, trends, opportunities as well as implications of social media adoption on PR with focus on practitioners in Lagos State. Interviews were conducted with selected PR practitioners in Lagos to obtain facts and views for this study. Findings revealed that social media has greatly influenced the practice of PR. However, social media use is shaped by communication strategy, objectives, engagement strategy, and the target audience. Furthermore, the common trends in use among practitioners include influencer push/influencer PR, listening and analytic (software) tools, brand neutralization, hashtagging, sponsored tweet/posts and use of social media pages of established news outlets. The result also showed that analytic tools like Hootsuite, Meltwater, Sprout Social are used for social media management and engagement. Therefore, social media has completely altered the pattern of corporate communication with its transient and ephemeral nature which makes it difficult for afterthought communications to be retrieved, deleted, or sometimes reviewed. But when compared with conventional media, social media provides better opportunities for wider reach, precise targeting, audience analytic, instant/immediate feedback, location-based messaging, and better audience measurement. Keywords: Social Media, Public Relations, PR tools, Modern Public Relations

This study aims to establish actionable guidelines and provide strategic insights as a means of increasing the social media effectiveness of consumer brands. Post-related factors in addition to the contextual and temporal factors influencing consumer engagement (i.e., reposting, commenting on or liking posts), as an indicator of social media effectiveness, are considered in detail in the research model. Moreover, the model considers differences between industries as well as social media platforms. A total of 1130 posts made by four brands, two each from the durable goods and fast-moving consumer goods sectors, were collected from Facebook and Twitter in Turkey. Through predictive analysis, four different machine learning algorithms were utilized to develop easy-to-apply plans of action and strategies. The findings highlight the significant impact of videos, images, post frequency and interactivity on engagement. Furthermore, social media platforms and the brands themselves were found to be instrumental in influencing engagement levels, indicating that more than one formula is needed for effective social media management. The range and depth of the post-related factors (e.g., image type, video length, kind of interactivity) considered go far beyond those found in the significant majority of similar studies. Moreover, the unique setting and the novel data analysis algorithms applied set this study apart from similar ones.

Teknologi artificial intelligence akan merevolusi semua industri, tidak hanya akan terjadi pada perusahaan besar. Tidak ada yang kebal dari disrupsi teknologi AI. Dari keuangan sampai pertanian, kesehatan dan pendidikan, public relations (PR) dan jurnalisme juga akan terkena dampaknya. Bagaimana artificial intelligence merevolusi pekerjaan PR, dan seberapa cepat perubahan ini terjadi? Saat ini kajian mengenai artificial intelligene yang berpengaruh bagi pekerjaan PR dan jurnalisme masih terbatas. Proses pengumpulan data dimulai sejak April hingga November 2018, dengan metode utama survei online diikuti oleh 220 responden dalam waktu 48 jam. Survei didistribusikan kepada praktisi PR di Indonesia. Selain itu, wawancara semi-terstruktur dilakukan dengan 10 responden. Berdasarkan penelitian, pekerjaan PR apa saja yang dapat tergantikan oleh teknologi big data dan AI antara lain : kliping berita sebanyak 45%; menganalisis berita di media sebesar 45%; hubungan media dan pemangku kepentingan sebesar 37%; manajemen konten media sosial sebesar 34%;  mendistribusikan rilis sebesar 33%; Foto dan video 24%; pekerjaan yang kemungkinan kecil untuk digantikan oleh mesin adalah presentasi atau face to face communication (18%). Sebagai kesimpulan bahwa manusia masih diperlukan pada tingkat yang lebih strategis dari aktivitas PR, seperti menganalisis data lebih lanjut hasil media monitoring,  yang sifatnya prediksi dan preventif atau preskriptif. Riset juga menghasilkan kompetensi baru public relations antara lain : kompetensi untuk data analysis, social media management, influencer dan content creator. Penelitian ini baru karena topik tentang Artificial intelligence dalam Public Relations, berdasarkan kajian praktisi di Indonesia, belum pernah dibahas sebelumnya. Riset Ini memiliki potensi untuk memiliki dampak yang cukup besar bagi profesi PR, serta dampak yang lebih luas pada penerapan manajemen komunikasi dan teknologi informasi bagi profesi PR.
