"This is an excellent overview of the wide range of writing types and skills that today's students need to understand. It's an excellent teaching base upon which to build. "Russell. Mack, J.D., Instructor, Texas Christian University, USA.
"This new edition is an impressive update to an already essential textbook for public relations and advertising writing students. The updated PR and social media writing sections are packed with insights for students on the reasons behind specific styles of written documents that are critical for the way today's students learn. It's already earned a prominent place on my bookshelf and in my classrooms."
