About this title

Review

"This is the best textbook I have reviewed in recent years. It is written concisely, yet clearly, is on target, and generally covers important issues and trends relating to public relations."―John M. Butler, University of Northern Iowa

"Looking through the text, I can't think of any topics that the authors overlooked. This book is chock-full of graphic support, examples, lists, factoids, case studies, etc. Everything seems fresh and current, which is vital with today's Gen X students and for the topic of public relations."―Linda Hon, University of Florida
