The ability to of man to facilitate and create information has been described in the article . This gradual shift can be characterized from the way information is disseminated from a private and selected few to a form that is enjoyed by everyone regardless of their race , gender and social status . It is in this area that public relations and information gets into the picture . Seeing this , it has not only transformed the way information is passed but also creates an alternative way of how things are presented contrary to the original standard - rationality
