Question

You are newly appointed head of public relations in South Africa (PRISA) in your province. By means of relevant examples, explain whether formal or informal communication or both would be appropriate to introduce yourself to your colleagues and orientate yourself in the organization. Substantiate your answer by using the information in the slides and the characteristics of formal and informal communication

Answer 1

In this case, I would introduce myself using informal communication. This kind of communication is friendly and inviting and will help in acquiring a better understanding of my colleagues. Also, this helps to create a sense of belonging to the new organization. Also, this kind of communication does not create the awkward communication created by formal communication.
