neutral  Michel F. Morin: Oui, je crois que c'est le mieux. Mais pourquoi "publicity" (et non pas "communications") pour "communication ?

  -> Simply because it's more common in English to use the word 'publicity' for this concept. The use of 'communications' in English doesn't entirely overlap with the way the word is used in French.

Communications Management


Explanation:
The term "Communications Management" encompasses a range of activities. It's more than "publicity." It includes paid advertising, the opening (vernissage), incuding invitations, internal and external communicastions. I know the breadth of it because I've done it for art museums and galleries. SO... the term should be broad enough to include all of those skills as well as the management of those skills in other people.

Specifics (details) for the publicity elements (chosen)


Explanation:
Hello,

I don't think anyone has quite captured the right idea, and perhaps I have not, either.

mise au point (here) = specifics/details/clarification (focusing in on)

Context is so important here as "mise au point" can mean many different things (focusing, elaboration, detailing, finalizing, perfecting, etc)

There were three education, training and publicity elements of the project: an. Anti Drug Drive publicity campaign, including posters, radio and online

I hope this helps.

This seems to make a lot of sense here, no?

Aren't they giving the "specifics" for the different publicity elements chosen?
