Abstract
This article explores the role of Public Relations as a political activity of the organisation, which assumes a strategical role in its legitimacy. That can’t be reduced to an auxiliary tool for other disciplines. Regarding the notion of legitimacy function, we propose a new tipology of publics, focused on the individual relation with what can be defined as the organisation center – the set of values that defines it. This framework wants to overcome some of the limitations of sociodemographic characterization of publics, presenting a new way of understand the organisation’s relationship with them.
