A Web communication plan is important for any organization to get a good promotion and coverage. Here i’m going to analize UN’s Web communication plan. The activity that such a large organization generated
can be overwhelming and chaotic if it’s not managed properly. All of this is managed by the Department of Public Information, that
Serves as liaison between the UN and civil society. The Department of Public Information is working to spread the message of the United Nations in the world to help the public better understand the activities and objectives of the United Nations.
The UN is an international organization founded in 1945, after World War II. Its porpuse is get and international cooperation in subejts like international law, security, economic development, social progress, human rights and, some day, worl peace. Now there are 192 member states . The Secretary General is Ban Ki-moon. The organization has 6 principal organims and agencies like United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
