I particularly enjoyed this book, as it provides a practical, as well as academic, insight into the public relations industry and what it takes to succeed within it.
With an ever-evolving media this book provides a very useful guide for those embarking on a career in the world of public relations. A world that has provided me with a fulfilling, challenging and exciting adventure for the past 40 years.
