Product Description

Product Description

In this revised and updated practical text, Alison Theaker successfully combines theoretical and organisational frameworks for studying public relations with examples of how the industry works in practice.


From the Back Cover

The Public Relations Handbook is a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the theories and practices of the public relations industry. It traces the history and development of public relations, explores ethical issues which affect the industry, examines its relationship with politics, lobbying organisations and journalism, assesses its professionalism and regulation and advises on training and entry into the profession.

The Public Relations Handbook combines theoretical and organisational frameworks for studying public relations with examples of how the industry works in practice. It draws on a range of promotional strategies and campaigns from businesses, public and nonprofit organisations including Devon County Council’s ‘Don’t Let Devon Go To Waste’

campaign, Airbus, Somerfield, BT, the Alzheimer’s Society and Emirates Airlines.

The Public Relations Handbook includes:

• case studies, examples and illustrations from a range of campaigns from small and

multinational corporations, local government and charities

• specialist chapters on financial public relations, internal communications and marketing

public relations

• strategic overviews of corporate identity, globalisation and evaluation

• a thorough examination of ethics and professionalism

• more than twenty illustrations from recent PR campaigns

• a new chapter dealing with public relations for charities

• a completely revised chapter on dealing with the internet effectively

5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough, explains key concepts in understandable terms, 27 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I am studying public relations at university, and find this book very useful. For example, I could not grasp systems theory until I read about it in this book, and suddenly it made sense! It is quite a thorough yet simplistic text, and is certainly ideal for public relations students. Unlike many of the public relations text books that I have used, I find this book is very straightforward. As it is so concise, it is a very useful introductory text.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty basic - but at least it is a start, 31 Dec 2005
By A Customer
I have yet to find a PR book that gives you any idea of how to do the real job in the real world

This would be fine as a 'course book' at college - but fairly useless if you are already working in PR
