In the reading from chapter 2 in Saylor “Defining Public Relations”, the author refers to the model established by the researchers Grunig and Hunt.  In their definition they mention the FOUR main elements of Public Relations.  Currently the nation is trying to emerge from the most deadly  and crushing health crisis in modern history with the COVID-19 Pandemic.  The “light at the end of the tunnel” is the hope raised by the COCID-19 vaccines that are being distributed as we speak. Despite this hope, a very large percentage of Americans are hesitant of getting the vaccine.  With this case study in mind, name those four components and write a paragraph (at least) on each, identifying a specific example of who or what represents each of those components in the Vaccine situation. Be as specific as possible with your answers. https://saylordotorg.github.io/text_mastering-public-relations/s03-what-is-public-relations.html
