I have reviewed in recent years. It is written concisely, yet clearly, is on target, and
generally covers important issues and trends relating to public relations."

I can't think of any topics that the authors overlooked. This book is chock-full of
graphic support, examples, lists, factoids, case studies, etc. Everything seems fresh and
current, which is vital with today's Gen X students and for the topic of public
relations."
