Editorial Reviews

"An excellent introduction to PR that is well-focused on new technology platforms and tactics, but doesn't sacrifice basic learning concepts, strategies, or tactical skills." --Gary Fowlie, BCIT

"Its emphasis on digital media and applications is significant and relevant, and the fact that it is a Canadian text is also of great appeal." --Kenneth Bell, University of Regina

"This text is an excellent presentation of contemporary foundations in public relations. Its Canadian context makes it a more appropriate introductory text for Canadian PR students." --Veronique Mandal, St. Clair College
