Reviews / Votes
"Concise and thought-provoking examination about 'what counts' as public relations and the field's impact on society; an excellent discussion primer about the issues facing the profession today and in the foreseeable future." Michael J. Palenchar, University of Tennessee "This is an engaging introduction to PR. I like its quick overviews of key authors, ideas and debates, its easy style, but most of all, that it makes the reader think." Magda Pieczka, Queen Margaret University, EdinburghMore details
