Using qualitative analysis, this article addresses some traditional definitions of public relations most of which are based on the one-way (sender-receiver/coder-decoder) model of communication. It is suggested that all of them fail to recognize some of the latest developments in the world of public relations, and as such, they are obsolete for the most part. The author proposes a definition of public relations derived from the coorientation theory. The new definition takes into consideration the revolutionary way in which the social media have changed the entire public relations practice. Traditional models of public relations are also discussed, as are public relations' functions and public relations role in modern marketing. A new (multi-level, multi-source, multi-dimensional and multi-step) model of public relations is also advanced. Similarly, new functions and new roles of public relations are presented.
