The study used concept of public relations functions by Cutlip and Center. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. The results of this study indicated the work performance of the public relations of the Agency of Agency of Language and Development and Reconstruction was poor in doing publication. The cause was due to lack of communication with the content providers (Preservation Agency) and content editors (Language Editor).

The Public Relations department did not participate in the process of drafting, implementing, and evaluating the program.
