Özet

Ülkemizde uzun yıllardır halkla ilişkiler eğitimi verilmesine ve halkla ilişkilerfaaliyetleri sürdürülmesine rağmen, halkla ilişkiler mesleği hak ettiği konumu eldeedememiştir. Halkla ilişkiler, belirli bir eğitim ve yeterliliğe sahip olmaksızın herkesinyapabildiği bir iş olarak görülmektedir. Halkla ilişkilerin bir meslek olmadığı düşüncesi,halkla ilişkiler eğitimi alan kişilerin işsiz kalması, halkla ilişkiler uygulamacılarının altkonumlarda istihdam edilmesi ve düşük ücretle çalıştırılması, üniversitelerde halklailişkiler bölümlerinin tercih edilmemesi gibi pek çok sorunun kaynağını oluşturmaktadır.Bu çalışmanın amacı, halkla ilişkilerin meslekleşme sorununu nedenleri ile irdelemektir.Bu doğrultuda, halkla ilişkilerin meslek konumunu elde edememesine neden olan faktörlertartışılmıştır. Halkla ilişkiler mesleğinin hak ettiği değere sahip olamamasının altında,toplum tarafından tanınmama, imaj sorunu, profesyonel standartların ve yetkinliklerinbelirsizliği, kamu yararı sağlamadığı görüşü, meslek örgütlerine katılımın fazla olmamasıile akreditasyon ve lisanslamanın olmaması gibi pek çok faktör yatmaktadır.
