Abstract
Today, the reaction of the masses towards the lies of the politicians brings together a new process rather than the politicians lying to the masses. In the post-trust era, the insignificance of the truth, politicians reflecting the lies as if they were the truth, and the masses believing in such reflections represent such a process. In this era, politicians render excuses to cover up the truth without having any feeling of guilt. There are spin doctors that work to enable the politicians to realize these purposes. The purpose of spin doctors is to manipulate the media and the public opinion and to reveal the aspects of events to benefit their own political targets rather than as these events are. In this study, the Our Brand Is Crisis movie will be considered in the context of spin doctor tactics usage in the post-truth era. The purpose of this study is to reveal the cinema representation of the spin doctor tactics in the post-truth era and to discuss the spin doctor concept and tactics with sample scenes.

An Analysis of Eskisehir Metropolitan Municipality Activities in the Context of Public Diplomacy and City Diplomacy
Public relations (PR) are the practice of managing and disseminating information from an individual or an organization (such as a business, government agency, or a nonprofit organization) to the public in order to influence their perception. Public relations and publicity differ in that PR is controlled internally, whereas publicity is not controlled and contributed by external parties. Public relations may include an organization or individual gaining exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that do not require direct payment. The exposure mostly is media-based. This differentiates it from advertising as a form of marketing communications. Public relations aims to create or obtain coverage for clients for free, also known as earned media, rather than paying for marketing or advertising also known as paid media. But in the early 21st century, advertising is also a part of broader PR activities. Public relations specialists establish and maintain relationships with an organization's target audience, the media, relevant trade media, and other opinion leaders. Common responsibilities include designing communications campaigns, writing press releases and other content for news, working with the press, arranging interviews for company spokespeople, writing speeches for company leaders, acting as an organization's spokesperson, preparing clients for press conferences, media interviews and speeches, writing website and social media content, managing company reputation (crisis management), managing internal communications, and marketing activities like brand awareness and event management. Success in the field of public relations requires a deep understanding of the interests and concerns of each of the company's many stakeholders. The public relations professional must know how to effectively address those concerns using the most powerful tool of the public relations trade, which is publicity.
