A popular textbook for professional body and professional PR courses as well as undergraduate and postgraduate level as it continues to engage students with the thought processes behind some of the latest PR stunts.

 

Its an excellent introductory level textbook with a European perspective on public relations.  The combination of a written chapter with an extensive list of follow up reading is particularly useful.  It covers a very wide range of relevant subjects.

I have worked with Exploring Public Relations since it was fi rst published. It provides a complete in-depth and up-to-date overview of the professional domain of communication practitioners. An easy read, with thoughtprovoking case studies and ample opportunity for refl ection and further study, in - and outside the classroom this book is a real fi nd, for students and lecturers alike.
