An analysis of the International Media and Sport/Entertainment Nexus and use of Public Relations – Base on the BENETTON “UNHATE” Campaign

This report is about the BENETTON “UNHATE” CAMPAIGN, launch in 2011.
It is one between others the company already did (shocking campaign).
Campaign / story context – Up to 1,500 words of facts about the media story or media campaign, with references. Disengage the ‘official’ statements from the sport entity/artist/entertainment organization or corporation, from media comment and speculation. For the ‘official’ campaign or information release, try to determine the target audience and the communication objectives. As well as the communication tools used, metrics etc. Look at official statements, official interviews, official photos, videos etc.
Look at independent media journalists (i.e. for example those who are not official media partners with the campaign/story) as well as social media and micro bloggers (if relevant).
Video material can either be referred to (if on YouTube) or compiled into a student video if the student has video editing skills.
Consider how was it reported by different media? Was the story changed for different markets? Or reported differently in different markets?
This is about establishing the facts that in Part Two you will analyse.

Now, using ONLY the information in the portfolio which I will send you in another message, we have to write a 3000 words report. Here a the instruction from the teacher (you will have to focus on the “Part Two”:
