Dr. Leanne Pupchek, associate professor of communication, conducted an International House workshop September 6 introducing Armenian political operatives to the public relations concepts underlying the practices of relationship management. Lively ideological debate took place among the representatives of seven different Armenian political parties with regard to the social and media environment within which upcoming political campaigns will be fought, just seven years after independence. Notably, the representatives were shocked to learn that negative advertising in the U.S. is legal, considering its ethical line-crossing. Dr. Pupchek emphasized that much of what works to attract voters in the U.S. will probably not work in Armenia.
