Synopsis

For courses in Introduction to Public Relations and Public Relations Practice, offered by Communications, Marketing, or Journalism departments.

Unlike other PR texts that steer clear of high profile real-life cases, the ethical challenges, the "how to" counsel, and the public relations conundrums that encourage students to think, this up-to-the-minute book prepares students to deal with a full range of situations―and to arrive at effective, ethical solutions. This is an “in-your-face” textbook for an “in-your-face” profession.
