Because PR can be difficult to control, it is often discredited. According to Dick
Lyles, president and chief operating officer of The Ken Blanchard Companies, a

to migrate to things they can control. Even now, when an executive looks at an
advertising message that's exactly what they want to create, with exactly the
right positioning and so forth, they say, 'That's the message I want to send.'
That's great, even though people may not read it, or people may give it less
value and discount it, because it's advertising.... [On the other hand], if you get
a well-placed article in a trade journal or you get some ink, people give it more
credibility. The impact is greater, but because it may not come out exactly the
way it was intended to come out, [businesspeople frequently] discount it."
