12. How did it add value?
• The campaign, entitled Light's Golden Jubilee, began in
May, with a massive publicity effort and ended on
October 21 with the event of the year, President Hoover
dedicating the Edison Institute of Technology in
Dearborn, Michigan.
• The event was attended by such notables as President
Hoover, Henry Ford, Orville Wright, John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and Madame Curie.
• Press representatives included members of the wire
services, weekly newsreels, and photographers.
Members of 15 of the most important newspapers in the
country were invited as well as a number of outstanding
journalists.

13. Who was in charge?
• Edward Bernays – “Father of PR”
• Nephew of Sigmund Freud
• He invented the idea of press release.
• He was the first who
advocated the use of “third-
party authority”.
13
14. What did he do?
• Six months before the dedication ceremony, stories
about Edison and the history of the incandescent light
were sent out to the managing editors of local and
national newspapers.
• The letterhead included the names of such supporters as
President Hoover and Henry Ford. Newspapers and
magazines began to run their own stories on the event,
and towns across America planned
ceremonies in honor of Edison.
• After Bernays approached the
postmaster general, a commemorative
stamp for the anniversary was issued.
