Abstract
With an international perspective, this chapter elaborates how social media have developed over the last fifteen years from a niche topic to an industry-disruptive and dominating phenomenon in public relations. The chapter will analyse how public relations theory and practice have embraced this development from four approaches: dialogue-centric approaches, crisis-centric approaches, user-centric approaches, and data-centric approaches. The chapter closes with a conclusion and recommendations for future research.
