In addition to having effects of PR as it main focus, the book will include cases and ethical challenges in each chapter and cover in-depth a number of topics that are seldom considered elsewhere (e.g. the internet, International, public policy). The focus of such a text is on discussion, not answers, making it ideal for fostering classroom discussion.
