Public relations is a dynamic and rapidly growing field which offers a variety of career paths.

This widely used Australian introduction to theory and professional practice has been fully revised and includes new chapters on ethics and public relations in the Third Sector.

They show how to develop effective public relations strategies and tactics and explain how to research, run and evaluate a successful public relations campaign. Drawing on a range of communication and public relations theories they discuss how to work with the media and how to use print, electronic and other forms of communication for maximum impact.
