How can public relations play a more active role in the betterment of society?

 

Introduction to Strategic Public Relations: Digital, Global, and Socially Responsible Communication prepares you for success in today’s fast-changing PR environment. Recognizing that developments in technology, business, and culture require a fresh approach, Janis T. Page and Lawrence Parnell have written a practical introductory text that aligns these shifts with the body of knowledge from which the discipline of public relations was built. Because the practice of public relations is rooted in credibility, the authors believe that you must become ethical and socially responsible communicators more concerned with building trust and respect with diverse communities than with creating throwaway content. The authors balance this approach with a focus on communication theory, history, process, and practice and on understanding how these apply to strategic public relations planning, as well as on learning how to create a believable and persuasive message.

 

Key Features

  • Chapter-opening Scenarios capture your attention by discussing current PR challenges—such as the Wells Fargo cross-selling, VW emissions cover-up, and P&G’s “Like a Girl” campaign—and thus frame the chapter content and encourage active reading. At the end of the chapter, you explore various aspects of socially responsible communication to “solve” the PR challenge. 

  • Socially Responsible Case Studies in each chapter illustrate the key responsibilities of a modern public relations professional such as media relations, crisis communications, employee communications, applied communications research, and corporate and government-specific communications. Each case features problem-solving questions to encourage critical thinking.

  • Social Responsibility in Action boxes feature short, specific social responsibility cases—such as Universals’ #NoFoodWasted, Nespresso in South Sudan, and Merck’s collaboration with AIDS activists—to highlight best practices and effective tactics, showing the link between sound public relations strategy and meaningful social responsibility programs.

  • Insight boxes spark classroom discussion on particularly important or unique topics in each chapter.

  • Personality Profile boxes will inspire you with stories from PR veterans and rising stars such as the U.S. CEO of Burson-Marstellor, the Chief Communication Officer of the United Nations Foundation, and the Executive VP at HavasPR. 

 

Recenzijos

"Introduction to Strategic Public Relations: Communicating for a Socially Responsible World is an excellent resource for public relations students and instructors. Students will love the timely scenarios, global case studies, and easy to follow explanations of public relations practices across the world. Instructors will appreciate the comprehensive and engaging exercises that provide real world examples. A much needed text for the modern PR professional."  -- Maureen Taylor, Ph.D "Public Relations is much more than just communication. Page and Parnell show that a broader strategic view can not only drive business results, it can change the world." -- Mike Fernandez "Using case studies at the beginning of each chapter is an excellent way to connect with students and to provide a focus for discussion of the key concepts. The focus on theory throughout the text is also refreshing." -- Michael Kent "The emphasis on social media history, evaluation, social network theory, and strategy is a great way to give students a broad understanding of how social media contribute to relationship building." -- Michael Kent "The first thing I look at in a new text is the bibliography. A text that has nothing to say about theory and research does not get a second look. Page does an excellent job here of blending theory and practice." -- Michael Kent "Its refreshing to see ethics covered in chapter three instead of chapter thirteen." -- Michael Kent "This is a good textbook jam-packed with recent information about public relations in multiple arenas -- including corporate, non-profit, governmental, political, international, sports, tourism, and more. The up-to-date chapter on digital media relations is a plus as are chapters on ethics, law, history, research, and theory." -- Donald K. Wright, Ph.D. "This text details a contemporary way to practice strategic public relations across multiple public relations sectors. It offers a real world approach to public relations practice stepped in research, theory, and measurement." -- Don W. Stacks, Ph.D. "This new text book provides a welcome blend of theory and practical knowledge that both students and professors of strategic communication will find adds real value. Page and Parnell bring the right formula at just the right time." -- Tom Martin "This incredibly thorough introduction to strategic public relations traces PR from its early days and provides insights to success in a career in its exciting future. With a solid foundation in ethics, careful attention to the core values of building authentic stakeholder relationships, and an informed eye on the evolving strategic digital future, readers will find this to be a comprehensive and indispensable guide." -- Roger Bolton "The art and science of effective and responsible communications in todays chaotic, fragmented and increasingly broad media landscape is comprehensively addressed by Dr. Page and Professor Parnell in this ground-breaking work.  Both educators and students alike will benefit from its seamless integration of academic theory and experiential lessons." -- Michael Fanning "This book provides students and educators alike with an excellent foundation for modern public relations.  Of particular interest is the books excellent and comprehensive discussion of the century-old history of the field.  This book delves deep and broad, offering students a unique perspective of how we got to where we are today, why we practice the way we do and how media technologies have so profoundly impacted the evolution of the profession. The influence of corporate communications pioneers we dont hear much about provides a much-needed understanding of the differences between agency and client work.  This text is highly recommended for student who is serious about a career in this field." -- Shelley Spector "Insight boxesshould make PR professors smile. Such boxes, included in each chapter, offer discussion points based on the topic at hand in a clear, descriptive way, and could easily be used as a jumpstart for class discussions, or as easy topics or essay exam questions." -- Danny Paskin
