The paper deals with the concept of corporate social responsibility as a public relations technique

order to gain profit.

platforms, although their key messages were similar. By presenting advantages and disadvantages
of the Internet, in comparison to the offline (virtual) media, this paper illustrates the opportunities
enabled by contemporary public relations, as well as whether the communication results of both
campaigns were substantial for the society.
