>The third step in public relations planning is to
understand what you want to say. To attain your objectives, it is
critically important to maintain message consistency when
delivering you organization's messages,
vision, mission, and core values to your target audiences.
Consistency creates a stronger impression and helps people
remember your core messages.</P

<SPAN

the core messages should not vary.</P
